Founded in 1948, AIESEC is a non-governmental and not-for-profit organization entirely run by youth for youth. AIESEC is sending individuals abroad to broaden their horizon and sharpen their understanding of different cultures. This post is meant for global interneship and work opportunities in different countries through AIESEC.

AIESEC's Credentials

How AIESEC Works?

AIESEC has a global website and you can see opportunities in each area there i.e. Global Volunteer, talent or entrepreneur.

Inside each country besides the National board, there are local offices in universities in several cities. These local offices also have a board, which sustains the operations in its city or university (sometimes there is more than one local office in a city, depending of the city size, particularly). Outline Methodology on how one proceeds with opportunity is as per following image:

Viewing projects online and signing up is free. As soon as a contract is concluded between the participant and an opportunity, the program fee of the project will need to be paid. This fee does not include the flight, visa or insurance costs. You have to verify with your specific opportunity manager if accommodation and food will be provided. A small fee for the accommodation might be added to cover additional costs of the project. Make sure to note the accommodation, payment and salary information as reflected during the process of applying:-

Eligibility Requirements

Volunteers and interns must be at least 18 years old. For volunteering there are no prerequisites regarding experience or previous knowledge, for internships the specific requirements are stated in the opportunity. Language requirements depend on the project, but basic knowledge of English should normally be sufficient.

Building a profile for international career through Global Internship and Work Opportunities for Youth seems useful but far-fetched option for the youth in third world countries. Working in foreign nations seems to be way too expensive and complex. Appropriate career consultants are hard to find, if at all. The scenario demands elders / experienced to step forward to guide the youth. It is in this context that I came across AIESEC.
