AIESEC (The International Platform for Young People to Discover and Develop their Potential)
Mission/Vision
The vision of AIESEC is to discover and help develop the potential of future leaders who will have a positive impact on society. AIESEC fulfills this vision through the "AIESEC INCUBATOR" since its creation in 1945.
To reach this aim, AIESEC provides over 5,000 leadership positions, organizes over 350 conferences, and runs an internship program as part of their development experience that offers 4000 members the opportunity to live and work in a foreign country.
What does the organization do?
Present in over 800 universities in over 90 countries and territories, AIESEC, the world's largest student organization, is the international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential so as to have a positive impact in society.
Our partner organizations, literally thousands from all sectors, look at AIESEC as a way to support the development of young people and to have access to high-potential young talent from around the world.
Opportunities for Youth
The AIESEC platform consists of a number of different opportunities through which an individual creates their own AIESEC experience. This same platform also serves to connect our partner organizations to the talented young people within AIESEC. The main opportunities of the platform are working abroad, learning networks, leadership experience, conferences, and supported self-discovery.
Together with the principles of the AIESEC Approach, this platform is how we give young people the desire and capacity to have a positive impact on society – that is the AIESEC Difference.
Working Abroad – the opportunity to work abroad is the defining element of the platform and is the most intense experience we offer. We enable about 3,500 members to work abroad each year in fields of management, technical, education, and development.
Leadership Experience – through the management of over 700 offices at the local, national, and international level, we provide about 5000 leadership opportunities to our members each year. This provides our members with valuable and practical experience in both hard and soft skills in management and leadership.
Conferences – we organize approximately 350 conferences each year to train and develop our members. These conferences provide the opportunity to practice leadership, gain important trainings, and develop a network.
Learning Networks - through virtual and physical interaction, learning networks enable different stakeholders to come together to develop their skills, knowledge, and networks on topics of interest. Examples of learning network topics include Sustainability, HIV/AIDS, and Entrepeneurship.
The majority of our partner organizations engage with AIESEC through one of these platforms in order to increase their profile, attract top talent to their organization, or to support our efforts in enabling young people to develop and discover their potential.
