Introduction

Exchange is one of the leadership development experiences that we offer to our members throughout their AIESEC Experience and links together with our global network.

Each year, we provide over 4,000 members with the challenging opportunity to live and work in a foreign country in areas of management, information technology, education, and development.

AIESEC’s Internship Exchange Program
Exchange is the defining element of the AIESEC experience. It facilitates an intense intercultural and practical experience in another society, and exposes the intern and those they meet to a different culture, community and its issues. We believe that in order to achieve a peaceful world in which every individual and humanity as a whole has the ability to fulfill their potential, the world needs leaders with the ability and willingness to create change in their communities. Our role in the world is to develop these kinds of people, individuals who are socially responsible, entrepreneurial, culturally sensitive, active learners and proactive agents of change through international work exchanges.

Since 1948, we have been providing students and recent graduates of higher education with learning experiences based around an global Internship exchange program. We are dedicated to empower them with the necessary skills, understanding of forces shaping the world around them, and a powerful network of tomorrow’s leaders to create change in the world.

As a university student or recent graduate, an Internship ranges from 8 to 78 weeks in one of 100 countries and territories around the world will not only allow you to develop a broader understanding of cultural, economic, business, and world issues, gain a global network, but also obtain personal discovery and professional development, in order to help create positive impact to society.
