What is AIESEC?
AIESEC is a 60 year-old global organisation that develops students and recent graduates into leaders by running and participating in an international exchange program.
AIESEC was conceived to try and help societies understand each other by providing students with the chance to live and work abroad. AIESEC is run by young people for young people, enabling a strong experience to all its stakeholders.
You're probably asking "What does 'AIESEC' stand for then?" It originally stood as a French acronym - L'Association Internationale des Etudiants Sciences, Economiques et Commerciales. Translation: International Association for Science, Economics & Commercial students. However, we now accept students from all academic backgrounds so we simply refer to our organisation as 'AIESEC'.
Those taking part in AIESEC develop their leadership, business and team skills to such a high standard that they are they are actively sought out by the top organisations across the world business for their outstanding skills and leadership abilities.
AIESEC activates your leadership ability by challenging you to take responsibility and make an impact. Not just at home, but right around the world. Our global network nurtures global leaders that are able to contribute to societal change while exploring their own vision for a positive impact on society.
