One decision… … endless possibilities
What are the standards?
To ensure delivery of quality leadership development experiences, AIESEC has a set of standards to be followed for any internship we provide. We call this the 16 Exchange Standards. They are grouped into 4 blocks, with different responsibilities from the AIESEC HOME and HOST entities. This guide is for YOU to understand our Exchange Standards to know what to expect from AIESEC during your project!
