Internship placement is based on primarily on personal and professional qualifications in the specific area the opportunity covers. Internships are not guaranteed and the best way to ensure you’re matched to your ideal internship is to keep in contact with your local committee and meet all deadlines set.

Recent graduates entering the workplace are seeing difficulty in finding work because of this generation’s great lack of relevant sales experience. Sales is the frontline of action for a firm to establish partnerships and produce results. Our goal is to find bright individuals ready to take on new challenges, especially in the international sector. Interns in this field will get the chance to contribute directly to the bottom line by performing corporate research and selling directly to consumer, commercial, and/or industrial clients.

Some countries tend to feature more of one type of program and some internships have roles that spread across more than just one category. With AIESEC, there’s no limit to where your experience can take you.

Marketing is part creativity and part logic; combining aesthetic with a strong message for a company’s target audience. An understanding of a product positioning is key to this field and interns can expect to build upon previous experience. Those that take on these opportunities can choose to work in graphic design, product design, branding, advertising, web development, and/or social media. In the more operational sense, there are also internships available that deal in buyer behavior, lead generation, process optimization, and strategic planning.

AIESEC is a worldwide leader in providing international teaching opportunities since its inception. Education interns can provide a major impact to the local community by fostering cultural understanding, improving basic work skills, or creating passion for a second language. These opportunities are the most abundant and available in the AIESEC network and are necessary for developing countries as an investment in human capital.

LOCAL COMMITTEES OF AIESECIN THE UNITED STATES

"AIESEC opens the world up to young people, and it opened it up for me. Through their programs, work opportunities, conferences and outreach they surmount cultural barriers and foster a deeper and more meaningful sense of global possibility. My time in AIESEC brought tremendous growth for me, and through it I saw how so many of our problems and challenges, as well as our blessings and strengths, are universal for people around the globe. It is a special fellowship, one of purpose and vision, and proof of its sustained value can be found in the fact that the first class 50 years ago had less than 100 students enrolled in it and now AIESEC is in almost 100 countries. I will always be grateful for what I learned both through the people who ran the programs and my peers in them.”

Secretary of State John Kerry AIESEC intern to Switzerland through AIESEC Yale, Yale Class of 1966

"In our experience AIESEC students possess exactly the qualities we are looking for: international and intercultural awareness, integrity, intuition and communication skills. We are always happy to have talented, committed and open-minded AIESEC students on internships with us and to share their spirit which enriches the corporate culture tremendously."

Peter Wuffli Group CEO, UBS

"For more than thirty years, PricewaterhouseCoopers has been a proud supporter of AIESEC. At present, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ partnership with AIESEC involves over 50 territories and is constantly proving successful. Leading in our business means being able to foster positive change by managing complex situations on a global scale. In order to achieve this, we need to be able to reach a high level of understanding of the complexity of the external environment and succeed in operating out of the normal comfort zone. For this we need young people and AIESEC unites a global network of talented and innovative, young people who strive to make a positive contribution to the world celebrating cultural diversity, leadership and teamwork. On behalf of the partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers I am honoured to endorse AIESEC’s vision of 'peace and fulfilment of mankind's potential.'"

Sam DiPiazza CEO, PricewaterhouseCoopers Global

"In an era of globalization, [AIESEC's] programs have helped young people around the world to develop a broader understanding of cultural, socio-economic and business management issues."
