CEED Application Booklet
Namibia 2015
Hello my fellow-AIESECer!
You’ve made the right choice in opening up this booklet. And I get to say that, as I am currently finishing up my CEED in Namibia ;) It was a blast – something
that I can truly recommend doing.
For me this was an AIESEC experience unlike any other, not just because I was suddenly living and working in another country, but also because the local
reality is quite different from the one I was used to. As an MC CEEDer you are working with the three-person MC on a daily basis, which will give you greater
insight in AIESEC on a national level. Because AIESEC in Namibia is still very young (1,5 years) you will learn about the issues a startup company faces. I
personally found this all very interesting and I loved the challenges it brought.
If you are willing to get out of your comfort zone, to live/work/breathe AIESEC day and night with an international MC, to share your knowledge and to
develop others, if you are solution-oriented, flexible and positive-minded, APPLY!
This booklet provides you with some basic information about Namibia and AIESEC here, about the CEEDs that will be available early next year and how to
apply.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about my experience, or to email the MC if you have any questions about the upcoming CEEDs.
Big Hug,

What does AIESEC in Namibia look like?
AIESEC in Namibia is a new entity, founded in June 2013. We are currently active in three
universities in Namibia’s capital Windhoek, one being a new expansion that will have their
first member recruitment in the beginning of next year. The academic year as well as the
terms of the LC EBs start in January whereas the MC term runs from July until June each
year.
The MC consists of the MCP plus two MCVPs: MCVP ICX + TM and MCVP OGX + COM. Due to
our high workload and the challenges we face as a new entity, we need CEEDers to support
us with their knowledge and man power to make AIESEC in Namibia a success.

What does Namibia look like?
Namibia is a very dry country with the capital Windhoek lying in between two deserts
(Kalahari and Namib Desert). There are two seasons in a year: a rainy season (December-
march) and a dry season (April-November). The winter (June – August) is generally dry with
degrees during the day up to 25 °C and to minus 4 °C during night. In summer temperature
go up to 40 °C during the day and 15 °C during the night.
But Namibia is not only a dry, sandy empty space! There are so many different landscapes
ranging from the very humid, green Caprivi area, over the dry desert to the coast. As
diverse as the landscape are the people. Even though having the second lowest population
density worldwide with only 2.2 million people on 825,615 km2 the cultural diversity is
high. The majority of the Namibian population is of the Ovambo ethnicity, which forms
about half of the population. Other ethnic groups are the Herero and Himba people, who
speak a similar language, and the Damara, who speak the same "click" language as the
Nama. The official language is English, while Afrikaans and German are known by a big
percentage of the population.

What will be your job?
We are looking for CEED’ers in the following areas:
TMP/TLP recruitment and induction
Y2B and BD
iGIP sales development
Marketing / Design
TMP/TLP recruitment and induction
The academic year at all three universities starts end of January. Two LCs are
already experienced in doing a recruitment but still need some support, specially
concerning planning. For our newest expansion this will be the first recruitment,
so they need a strong support and coaching system during this time. Included in
this is also the induction, so we are searching for someone with experience in
training and coaching as well. Our national conference will take place on the 21st
of March 2015, where the CEEDer is very welcome to train.
Time and duration: end of January until end of March
Youth to Business Forum and BD
On the 18th April 2015 the very first Y2B will take place in Namibia. The topic is “Youth entrepreneurship – The solution for unemployment?” which aims to
develop awareness about entrepreneurship in youth. Because the unemployment ratio in Namibia is high, especially under young people (around 50%) this is also
a focus of the current government. This Y2B will not only help to tackle a big problem in Namibia but will also serve as a platform for young people to get in
contact with business and thought leaders. An additional benefit is that the Y2B can serve as a way to spread awareness about AIESEC in the population. The CEED
working on this should already have experience with organizing events or conferences as well as conference sales.
Time and duration: end of January until end of April
Marketing / Design
We are searching for a person who is especially experienced with development
of marketing material and graphic design. We are looking for someone who
can develop our local brand in terms of design: to make our materials look
awesome and aligned. This includes materials towards all our partners: the
members, EPs as well as companies. Additionally we find it important that this
person can also educate our COM LC VPs and Members about the basics of
marketing and design.
We are looking forward to work with you to make AIESEC in Namibia not only
successful but also beautiful!
Time and duration: January until April
iGIP sales development
Since AIESEC in Namibia is still a young entity, the awareness
level is very low. Because of this iGIP sales is facing some
challenges that we hope to overcome with the input from an
experienced sales and BD person. Your job will be to develop a
new sales strategy and improve our processes as well as
coaching our two LCs and one Official Expansion in their sales
knowledge, processes and development.
Time and duration: February until May
How to apply:
Application Deadline: 7th December
Selection: 8th and 9th December (please make sure you can
be available for an interview)
