Chair's letter I would like to thank all of the supporters and partners of AIESEC Canada for your continued commitment to developing global youth leadership. The 2015-16 year has been a successful year, as we’ve continued to provide meaningful and relevant experiential learning opportunities to over 2200 Canadian youth across the country.

Notable accomplishments this year saw the completion of the 2020 Strategic Plan, where we solidified AIESEC Canada’s aspiration to accelerate the creation of global leaders and to be the leading youth voice to business in Canada. We also increased our focus on customer centricity that resulted both in the growth of the number of students that went abroad and the number of contracts signed with Canadian companies to bring international talent to their workforce.

We’re pleased that our Platinum and Gold Partners continue to leverage their support of AIESEC Canada through meaningful engagement opportunities with our membership. This includes Export Development Canada (EDC) leading a trade simulation session at one of our national conferences and Cenovus stepping up as our title sponsor for the Youth to Business Forum. In addition, we welcomed new partners such as Scotiabank who participated in our youth roundtable discussions and facilitated a workshop on the theme of global competencies.

In addition, AIESEC Canada strengthened our relationships with key partners outside of the corporate sector. We expanded our relationship with International Experience Canada within the federal government to align in our joint mission of providing quality global experiences to Canadian youth. We also developed our partnership with the Asia Pacific Foundation resulting in additional funding to provide scholarships to our outgoing program participants to develop skills and knowledge required to fuel the future success of the Asia region. These partnerships support our position in the value and need to develop global competencies in Canadian youth.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to express our appreciation for your continued support as we look ahead to build on this year’s momentum and successes.

With appreciation,

Anne Huang Chair, Board of Directors

president's letter Dear readers, Thank you for opening the AIESEC Canada Inc. 2015-16 annual report. This past fiscal year came with immense challenges and opportunities for the organization as we strived to amplify our impact with over 2200 members in 30 top universities across the country.

A simple vision guided our strategy and actions for the year: AIESEC for Canada. Challenging ourselves to create next-level impact. We focused on aligning what we did to what our country needed, challenged the status quo to enhance our operations, and shifted to a customer centric approach in the way we measured our success.

What resulted was, truly, a next-level year for AIESEC Canada. For the first time in our history, we realized over 200 outgoing professional internships, 500 outgoing volunteer internships, and 100 incoming professional internships with a total of 815 lives impacted directly through our programs and a 20% year-over-year increase in programs revenue. We solidified our partnership with the federal government with their participation in our annual Youth to Business Forum which included a video endorsement from our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Concurrently, we created the 2020 strategic plan to map our growth and strategic imperatives for the next five years.

None of this would be possible without our amazing members, partners, and supporters. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this incredible journey for the endless support of AIESEC Canada and our dedication to the youth of this country.

We are confident in this organization’s future to create a greater impact as we strive towards developing the leaders Canada needs, today and for the future.

Enjoy reading this report and the stories that shaped this amazing year.

Sincerely,

Danial Mazhar Shafi President, AIESEC Canada Inc. 201516

what is aiesec?

AIESEC is a global platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential. We are a non-political, independent, not-for-profit organisation. Its members are interested in world issues, leadership and management. AIESEC does not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, creed, or national / social origin.

Since we were founded, we have engaged and developed over 1,000,000 young people who have been through an AIESEC experience. The impact of our organisation can be seen through our alumni who represent business, NGO, and world leaders. The organisation spans 127 countries and territories and every aspect of AIESEC’s operations is managed by students and recent graduates of institutions of higher education.

Why we do it?

Our belief is that sustainable, informed and globally-minded leadership can help us solve many of today’s challenges. We provide young people with a global platform where they grow in confidence, gain experience and can perhaps fail but learn fast. They discover what really matters to them while creating a positive social impact.

Management Team Danial Mazhar Shafi President McGill University “My role as president challenged and grew me tremendously.

Erica Conrad National Vice-President, Outgoing Exchange University of Saskatchewan; Royal Roads University “I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work on the leadership team for AIESEC in Canada; through managing the outgoing exchange programs I was not only able to further my own skills, but I was able to help Canadian youth to develop both the professional and personal skills we need for the future.”

Mitch Donnelly National Vice-President, Business Development Saint Mary’s University “Having the opportunity to work with 7 of the brightest young people in the country over the past year has been a humbling experience. This year has been the most challenging yet transformational year of my life. Working with our corporate & government partners has been incredible and I cannot wait to see where the relationships fostered this year will take AIESEC Canada in the months and years to come.”

I have been truly fortunate to work alongside the brightest and most passionate young people in the country!”

Vicky Gordiano National Vice President, Marketing & Communications National Autonomous University of Mexico “Coming from another country, I cannot be more glad to have the opportunity to get involved in Canadian culture with such amazing, passionate and hard working Canadians. AIESEC in Canada has been one of the best and most challenging experiences I could ever ask for."

Top Faculties of our Members Business Administration and Management Economics and Social Sciences Humanities Words from our Members "I joined AIESEC in Fall 2012. As a first year student, I was inspired by the organizational culture, the strong bonds connecting the members and the impact that it was making as an NGO. As Local Committee President, my vision was to tap into the collective potential of the membership, to channel the ambition of the members and provide them with the right tools to fulfill their mission, to aim for greatness and multiply the number of experiences we create every day. We thus created an infrastructure that allowed every member of the organization to voice their ideas and actively participate in the creation and enhancement of every strategy in each function. Thanks to this collective approach, we have been able to grow and innovate in every function as well as leave a sustainable infrastructure within the organization."

Othman Kabbaj Local Committee President AIESEC McGill 2015

Global Talent outgoing Exchange The AIESEC Global Talent Programme allows young people to develop their professional and technical skills by working in international workplaces. Our internships provide participants with the opportunity to explore different work environments, improve their skills and competencies related to their fields of study, all while magnified by an international cultural experience. This provides them the opportunity to grow a global network in their chosen field, while improving their global competences in both a professional and personal capacity.

Students who sign up to go abroad with our program become Exchange Participants (EPs) and are considered as EP Raised. Once they are matched with an opportunity abroad, they become an EP Matched. Finally, once they begin their internship abroad, they are an EP Realized.

Words from our Partners “Our partnership with AIESEC Canada has helped us reach our goal of exposing more Canadian youth to opportunities in Asia, with its many dynamic societies and economies. We have done this through our initial project to send more Canadians on internships in Asia, and more recently by working with AIESEC Canada to emphasize the importance of developing global competencies.”

Erin Williams - Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada

Words from our Participants Janilaine participated in a 4 month professional internship in the field of Management & Teaching, in Malaysia. Her internship consisted of managing a community center and developing programs for the people who visited the center, as well as managing daily operations for the center. In the course of her internship, Janilaine was able to connect with Malaysian culture on a daily basis while working to develop her professional skills for future employment.

“I always knew I wanted to go on a professional AIESEC exchange once I graduated because of the amazing people and impactful projects found within the network. During my time in Malaysia, I was able to meet so many like-minded individuals through my position as the Community Development Officer at SOLS 24/7 Malaysia. This position allowed me to manage a community centre, developing my managerial and administrative skills that can be easily transferred to other jobs.”

Janilaine Tsui, AIESEC SFU

Asia Pacific Foundation AIESEC Canada was able to spend the year increasing operations to the Asia Pacific Region, in co-operation with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF).

Having received a $50,000 grant from APF, we were able to develop a number of initiatives designed to increase awareness of Asia-related skills and knowledge in young Canadians. With the goal of developing Asia competences among our participants, we ran several marketing initiatives, including sending a representative to meet with companies in Asia and promote Canadian talent.

Through support from the grant and APF, we were able to send 221 Canadians to Asia this fiscal year, with 81 going on the Global Talent Programme and 142 going on the Global Citizen Programme.

Global citizen outgoing Exchange In order to address global issues, such as the improvement of education systems, awareness of climate change, and alleviation of poverty, AIESEC offers youth the opportunity to engage with the Global Citizen Programme. Our participants are able to develop an international outlook, while acting as ambassadors for Canada around the world. By engaging in emerging markets, and engaging with communities in need, they gain relevant personal and professional skills that they can use to face the challenges facing the world today.

Words from our Government “We absolutely need to hear youth voices on key issues that affect us like inequality and access to good education. We live in a globalized world; the only way that we are going to succeed as a country and understand the issues that we face is if we work together and get experience abroad.”

The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change

Words from our Participants In May 2016, Allyson Fox went abroad to Varna, Bulgaria for the 17 Steps Project. The United Nations Association of Bulgaria partnered with AIESEC to provide the opportunity for Allyson and several other volunteers to visit Bulgaria in order to educate youth about the United Nation’s 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

Over the course of six weeks, Allyson worked in several high schools and with many classes, empowering youth to become active global citizens by using non-formal methods of teaching. Additionally, having the opportunity to live with a host family allowed for Allyson to be immersed into the Bulgarian culture, heritage and traditions. Working directly with youth abroad opened Allyson’s eyes to see the bright future that lies ahead for Bulgaria and our world.

“Choosing to go on an international internship was the bravest decision I have ever made. I went into this experience with an open mind and minimal expectations, leaving the door open to new cultures, experiences, and opportunities. I will never regret the chance I took leaving my comfort zone because this experience has taught me more about myself than I could have ever learned elsewhere. One moment of bravery has allowed for me to gain a lifetime of confidence in myself and my abilities.”

Allyson Fox

Global Talent Incoming Exchange AIESEC Canada continues to offer meaningful experiences to young people all around the world through short term placements with Canadian universities, NGOs, and corporations in the hopes of creating a more competitive Canada.

We were able to offer 100 young people these opportunities through 6 week to 18 month placements in marketing, business, engineering, and information technology.

Our Youth We were able to work with hundreds of Canadian youth in developing their personal and professional skills. Through their efforts, we have been able to engage with hundreds of companies in a professional context. The combination of sales, service delivery, and resilience we develop in young people has allowed us to give them the opportunity to further themselves as leaders.

Words from our Participants "I always dreamed about living and working for some time outside of Poland – to make new friends, to have a life changing experience, to prove myself. With help from AIESEC, my dream came true. I got a great internship in an innovative company, where I found out that stereotype about friendly Canadians is not just a myth. When it comes to my free time, I can always count on my “new family” in Montreal, which keeps all the interns together through many events they organize; you just cannot be bored here. Keep it going AIESEC McGill!"

Words from our Partners "Our startup company was at a crossroad into its growth where highly skilled resources were needed in order to get to the next steps. For a small company, every body counts and there is few - if no - room for mistakes regarding human resources. AIESEC came into play and assisted us in finding our first - then multiple - interns. The AIESEC team took care of understanding our technical needs and staffing requirements and they diligently provided candidates fitting our business and IT culture. The interns revealed to be outstanding both on the technical side and the people side. Our plan is to continuously use AIESEC as part of our Human resources strategy to pursue our business expansion. " Jean-Roch Lafleur, ing., M.Sc.A - Engineering & Operation Director @ Nuage Technologies

Functional Summits On top of the National Sales Program, which has provided intensive sales training to hundreds of members across the country, the 2015-2016 term saw a rise and focus on specific training and strategy co-creation amongst all the other functions of the organization. The Customer Experience Summit included training on how to provide a meaningful experience for the organization’s outgoing exchange participants throughout the whole exchange facilitation process. The Finance Summit tackled the changing face of the organization as it evolves its financial model. The Talent Management Summit placed clarity on the role of human resources within the local committee’s operations.

National Leadership Meeting For the first time in recent history, AIESEC Canada held a National Leadership Meeting as a gathering of the three leadership bodies of the organization: the Member Committee, Local Committee Presidents, and National Support Team.

This meeting allowed a meaningful strategic discussion on the operational health of the AIESEC Canada as a whole which results on the co-creation of a service delivery model. This model outlines the specific responsibilities of each leadership body towards the unified goal of AIESEC Canada for the 2015-2016 term.

Youth to Business The Canada Youth to Business Forum brought businesses and students together to engage in a unique dialogue on relevant topics for both Canadian businesses and student communities.

On May 6th, 2016, AIESEC Canada convened 350 student leaders from 30 universities across the country to collaborate with Canada’s top executives on two panels to address the question: “What competencies do Canadian Youth need to bring to the workforce?”

We hosted two keynotes, two panels, 12 workshops and 5 roundtables. Our delegates were able to learn from a diverse representation of industry while expressing their opinions. We were fortunate enough to have a video address from Hon. Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, as well as a video address and endorsement from Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.

“You are the voice of Canadian Youth” - Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada the morning panel featured prominent executives from Government, Policy, Research and Youth.

Morning Panelists: - Clark Goodman - Director - International Experience Canada - Katrina Marsh - Director, Natural Resources – Canadian Chamber of Commerce - Kasi Rao - Vice President & Director – Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada

What we found: A key discussion point on the panel was on the role of Natural Resources in Canada's economy and youth's role with them. Points were brought up suggesting youth take time to engage themselves further with the major industries in Canada. Companies should also scale their investments in youth leadership, especially in regions where their business impacts the community.

The afternoon panel featured leaders from the Financial Services industry.

Afternoon Panelists: John Doig - Global CMO – Scotiabank Group Janet Ecker - CEO- Toronto Financial Services Alliance Mike Reyes - Asian Development Bank

What we found: Each Panelist brought a different perspective on personal finances for Canadian millennials. A key takeaway was that it is never too early to work on financial literacy and planning for your financial future. Structures in the education system need to empower young Canadians to take ownership of their finances to better prepare them for the future. Delegates were instructed to start thinking about where their money is going now and the importance of starting early. Students, regardless of whether or not they were interested in careers in the financial services industry were told to explore their options in the financial services sector.

Youth will decide how out businesses are run. Youth will deďŹ ne how our education systems must change. Youth will determine what our organizations value.

"I have been in AIESEC for 3.5 years and every moment has been absolutely phenomenal. Having held multiple roles such as Exchange Participant Manager, Vice President of Operations and Local Committee President has really taught me invaluable life lessons that I feel privileged to be able to share with others today. Passion and dedication on the local level inspired me to take the next jump into my current role as National Finance Team Leader. I applied for this position because I saw the potential in redefining our vision as an entity that could drive exchange through financial initiatives. Figuring out how to drive and lead operational initiatives while inspiring Local Committees to create Return-On-Investment projects has been a tough but rewarding experience, but is one that I would not trade for anything."

Alex Woo, National Finance Team Leader, AIESEC Canada

incoming president's letter To the membership, partners, and supporters of AIESEC, One unique element that lies within the organization is the fact that the leadership body turnovers on an annual basis. The 2015-16 team has truly set the following term up for a brighter and more impactful AIESEC for Canada. The 2016-17 team is truly fortunate to be continuing and leading a legacy spanning over 58 years, providing life-changing, meaningful, and relevant experiences for youth and impacting communities worldwide.

As the organization embarks on our five-year strategic aspirations, we believe that the collaboration of our members, partners, supporters, and youth is way to success. Hence, the 2016-17 term will be focused on supporting the operations our local committees in order to keep them strong and healthy, providing reliable enablement capabilities to allow for our customers to easily access our programs and opportunities, and building a long-term partnership with government in order for AIESEC to further its reach and scale our impact.

There are a lot of things that need to be done for this to happen, but we know that through the hardwork of our membership, collaboration from our partners, and confidence from our supporters, we will be able to make the 2016-17 term a groundbreaking year towards our 2020 aspiration. Indeed, it is time for AIESEC in Canada to strive and be one in demanding excellence.

We appreciate your continued support for the organization and look forward to your future engagement with AIESEC as we work towards being Canada’s youth voice to business through accelerating the creation of Canadian global leaders through international exchange.

Sincerely,

Joaquim Sanvictores President, AIESEC Canada Inc. 2016-17
