AIESEC is the global youth network impacting the world through leadership development experiences. AIESEC has been facilitating youth leadership activities as well as international internships & volunteer experiences for over 65 years, developing a global learning environment across 124 countries and territories. There are three main opportunities we offer to young people around the world: Global Talent, Global Citizen and Youth Talent.
Global Talent is AIESEC’s Internship Programme. It helps you find a placement in an organisation in another country for 3-12 months. Check it out if you want to gain cultural understanding and challenging personal and professional development in a start-up, corporation or NGO.
Global Citizen is an international volunteer abroad experience working on issue-based projects. Check it out if you want to learn to manage a project and immerse yourself in an intense cultural learning environment. To find out more visit www.globalcitizen.org.nz
Get involved on campus and in your community. Through Youth Talent programme (AIESEC membership) you can develop yourself in a team environment. Check it out if you want to challenge yourself to connect with a massive network of 86,000 like-minded individuals. To find out more visit www.aiesec.org.nz
AIESEC New Zealand has 35 years of experience in developing high-potential youth into globally minded responsible leaders. We are present in main universities within New Zealand: University of Auckland, AUT, University of Waikato, Massey Palmerston North, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Canterbury and University of Otago. We have over 190 active student members across 6 campuses. These individuals lead and manage our local operations. Our local chapters actively send over 140 students on internships and volunteering exchanges on an annual basis. Per annum, they also host around 10 interns from our global network who are placed in New Zealand companies and NGOs.
If traditional graduate placements or summer internships in NZ sound a bit boring and if you feel like the world is calling you for a bigger challenge, then the Global Talent programme is for you. “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey” but Global Talent will give you both.
AIESEC Global Talent Programme is a long term (3-12 months) professional internship experience in fields like English Teaching or Marketing/Sales. The programme is focused on the personal and professional development of participants by offering them internship opportunities in companies and organisations abroad. Participants have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a different culture and work environment.

the process 2. the interview
1. apply To go on AIESEC exchange you must get in contact with your nearest AIESEC chapter (likely at your own university). You can do this by applying via our website for the respective programme you’re interested in. (www.aiesec.org.nz)
After receiving your application we will invite you for an interview and/or assessment centre. The aim of the interview is to check your motivation, expectations and skills.
3. searching for your internship If you pass the interview you will sign a contract, pay the exchange fee and your information will beplaced in our online database. By creating your own profile you will be able to search for internships of your choice and directly apply for them. Generally, you need at least one or two months to find your internship. However, the more flexible you are, the easier it will be.
5. the internship
6. return AIESEC also supports you after your internship. We give you the opportunity to reflect on your internship, share your experience with others and inspire them to go on an internship as well. You will graduate from the programme and be offered the opportunity to join your local AIESEC committee as a member.
The host AIESEC committee (in your destination you are traveling to) will organise your accommodation as well as all the necessary documents (such as the work permit and invitation letter). They will also help you during the first few days you arrive at your destination and introduce you to AIESEC members and other exchange participants.
4. preparation Before you leave for your exchange you will be inducted to and learn more about AIESEC. You will have the opportunity to meet your local committee who will support you through the process and also connect with other exchange participants.
frequently asked questions How does AIESEC differ from other exchange providers? AIESEC exchange programmes (Global Talent and Global Citizen) go beyond the job itself with emphasis put on the cross cultural experience participants gain alongside their professional experience. As an example, whilst overseas you will have the opportunity to connect with other foreign students participating in our exchange programmes. Local AIESEC members will also give you the unique opportunity to arrive in a foreign country with a readymade support network waiting for you. AIESEC is your gate to an international network.
What does the AIESEC exchange offer? The Global Talent programme offers you the possibility to undertake the intense professional and cultural experience in one of our partner countries around the world. Your sending entity, in our case, AIESEC New Zealand, will help you to prepare for the exchange, in passing you through selection and assisting you in application on our online database. Once you have found an internship, your hosting committee will assist you with your visa, work permit and will help you organise your accommodation. In addition to this, your hosting committee will be there for you as soon as you arrive, from picking you up in the airport to organising cultural and networking events with other interns.
What support will I get from my host committee? All the internships are based on a local committee nearby who is there to help you throughout your whole exchange. More concretely, the members of the hosting local committee organise your accommodation, pick you up from the airport/station, show you around the city and accompany you to work on your first day. In addition, they will integrate you into their activities, organise events for you and the other interns, help you to get to know people and culture in your host country. If there should be any problems, there will always be someone back in NZ to help you, we will be in contact with you and support you in every possible way.
