NEWS FROM THE COUNTRY We are currently going into the last month of the semester and we can actually count on our fingers the days left of our year. We are closing in on a year where we are currently on the path of growth in results compared to last year at the same time, however at the same time we are still a bit behind our goals of the year. As every member is in exam periods as well, what the country needs now to think about every day is to focus on the small things that could secure the performance of this year and also to gather strengths and motivation for the next half a year to come.

Without a doubt the focus should be on RAISING, MATCHING and REALIZING the pipeline that we have now.

In GIP ICX we need to make the phone calls and follow ups on the companies we have met this year to make the RAISING happen. The crucial, yet brutal reality of sales is that if we don't follow up on them now, they will forget us over Christmas. The focus should be about following up the pipeline and get a concrete answer: Yes or No. In GIP and GCDP OGX the focus should be on RAISING the final pipeline of candidates that you have and to ensure that they are matched before taking Christmas holiday. Imagine the feeling of taking Christmas holiday having completed the exams and matched the EPs that will go abroad in January. As you know, there are no impact made in a EP that in the end didn't find an internship.

In GCDP ICX the main focus should be on sustaining the Winter Education projects that we have and MATCHING the TNs with amazing candidates. What can YOU do as a GCDP ICX member the next 10 days to ensure that there are enough money and accommodation provided to the participants in order to actually realize the project?

In the end we have only few days left of the semester and still some real results that needs to be consolidated. If we do so, if we raise, match and realize, we will for sure finish a term with growth compared to last year and with results to look back to when starting off fresh in January. Delivering our EPs and TNs that we have now is what will ensure the success of next semester.

Lets raise, match and realize AIESEC Norway’s potential!
