CORE PROGRAMS

“Go Speak is an incoming cultural exchange program combined with a basic conversational language course, that exposes students to foreign cultures without having to leave the campus ”

“An initiative driven by a global need for businesses leaders and youth to communicate on major issues relevant to Australia, and to generate, validate or strengthen ideas on future action”

“Access a network of globally talented youth, to meet the demands of the increasingly flexible and versatile work environment”

Through this program we hope to enrich student life and increase cultural awareness, by providing a quality-teaching program to either complement a students’ language or cultural education or for those simply seeking something extra-curricular. Cultural events and activities will complement these language classes, producing a well-rounded cultural and educational program.

Such forums are run across the network in Australia, on a regional and national level. Each time bringing together business leaders and entrepreneurial students to engage in dialogues on relevant topics to Australian community.

From helping Wesley Mission fill a short-term position by providing a high quality human resource officer, to simplifying the risk reporting process in GE Australia by sourcing a skilled financial specialist. We believe that by facilitating and participating in our Global Talent Sourcing Program, we are able to develop globally minded, adaptable and purpose driven young leaders, and hence strive for our vision: Peace & Fulfillment of Humankind’s Potential.

WHAT THEY’VE SAID

Houston Spencer VP Marketing & Business Strategy, Alcatel-Lucent (2008-2012)

Not only are these students highly competent but they are also motivated, engaged, they’ve got good problem solving skills, leadership skills, communication skills, and work very well in teams.

It’s difficult to find that combination in a lot of people.

WORKING WITH ACU MISSION STATEMENT PROPOSED PRODUCTS Catholic University “We wish for support from Australian Catholic University to expand our opportunities to even more students, through careful marketing, faculty endorsement and management of our core products to ensure that students of ACU become global citizens, and improve the overall quality of university life.

We believe that we can play a key role in supporting ACU provide its students with a high quality learning experience through developing knowledge, skills and attitudes that foster international perspectives and increase graduate employability.

VALUE PROPOSITION By the end of 2015, AIESEC envisions to offer all of its programs to ACU students across its campuses around Australia.

“Go Volunteer is a practical overseas experience that develops leadership abilities by volunteering in community development in foreign environments”

The Go Lead program is a practical team experience that develops leadership abilities by running a global organisation”

To ensure that AIESEC’s operations are sustainable in the long term, AIESEC believes in first introducing our Go Volunteer Program to ACU campuses.

ACU students will have the opportunity to experience the leadership development that our programs offer and hence, gain a deeper understanding of the impact that AIESEC’s programs have on students globally.

A Go Volunteer Experience, combined with a National Conference experience in Australia, will empower ACU students with the determination, passion, knowledge and skills to successfully set up AIESEC local chapters on ACU campuses in Australia.
