Our Approach
Our aim is to give people the capacity and desire to have a positive impact in society - a person we refer to as a “change agent.” Together with AIESEC Platform, this is our approach to creating young people with desires, skills, and attitudes to make a difference in society. That is the AIESEC Difference.
AIESEC Experience
The following diagram shows the different steps in being an AIESEC member.
All members go through a formal introduction to the organization and then begin to take on responsibility in some area.
They then have the option to take on leadership, work abroad, or both.
The final step is to head to the future - to take the skills, inspiration, and networks from AIESEC to have a positive impact in society. This flow and the opportunities within it were built on the following principles.
Taking an Active Role
AIESEC will provide the opportunities and some support, but it is ultimately up to the individual to make the most of those opportunities. Each individual must take responsibility for his/her experience within AIESEC.
Developing Self-Awareness and Personal Vision
AIESEC supports young people in clarifying and expanding their ambitions through mentorship, personal vision exercises, an inspiring environment, and providing intense experiences that challenge their view of the world and their role within it.
Increasing Your Capacity
Through conferences, work abroad opportunities, and the management of our offices, we provide young people with the opportunity to increase theoretical knowledge in a wide-range of functional and soft skills and the opportunity to put it into practice.
Building a Network
Through conferences, learning networks, innovative on-line platforms, and a growing alumni network, AIESEC provides young people with the opportunity to create a strong and global network to support them in their personal and professional pursuits.
Challenging Worldview
Through intense experiences such as conferences, working abroad, and engaging in diverse environments, AIESEC “shakes up” the way young people see the world.
Our 4 Main Platform :
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 Entrepreneurship.
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.

The long-term survival of business is crucially dependent on accessing talented young leaders from across the globe that can join an organisation and create success through the right combination of skills, innovation and attitude.
For over 50 years AIESEC has been providing organisations in all sectors of society with young people who are striving to develop themselves into socially responsible, entrepreneurial, culturally sensitive, active learners.
These young leaders have a goal of driving change globally and within the organisations they work for, through their own positive leadership.
