What is the Go Global Programme?
The Go Global Programme is a scheme run by AIESEC UK which helps you to find paid internships or voluntary work abroad.
As a registered charity, we can offer you a unique international experience, which is low in cost but high in value.
Once you have applied and been selected, you gain access to our database of over 15,000 international opportunities and get the chance to choose your own experience! Because we have a rolling application process,you can apply at any time and your start and end dates can be tailored to suit your availability (anytime between 6 weeks and 18 months!).
AIESEC supports you through choosing your experience and provides you with advice before, during and even after your international internship.
And the best thing about AIESEC's Go Global Programme is that it's run entirely by students and recent graduates from around the world! We're a registered charity in England and Wales (no. 274779) and we're here to provideyou with the opportunity to live and work in another culture for no other reason than to help you develop yourself in a global environment.
Please note: Even though we are run by students and recent graduates, we have a support network of experienced advisors and trustees, who help us maintain the professionalism of our 60+ year-old programme, ensuring that the safety and well-being of all exchange participants is considered appropriately.
