There are no meetings, and most part-timers are on vacation. You are not expected to work full-time, but we do recommend you to spend some time working during the summer. It’s perfectly possible to go on a holiday, but take the time to get to know your team, try to familiarise yourself with your responsibilities and make sure you are well prepared for the big start in September. We maintain a regular schedule of 9:30h to 17:00h. This does not include the meetings and drinks on monday evening, and the regular weekends conferences and trips. Expect an AIESEC event during the weekend per six weeks. They sometimes include international travelling and always include parties and fun.
