Imagine you are a student sitting in a pub with your friends. You are drinking a cold beer and someone asks you: „What are these AIESEC internships all about?“ And you start describing Global Citizen and Global Talent. You start describing what partner countries they can go to, on what sort of projects or jobs and according to the subproducts.
But what about membership? What would you say if they asked you what the membership program in AIESEC can bring them? „Well, you can lead team, you can get some relevant skills in GIP, in OGX…“. Currently it is not easy to describe AIESEC membership in an easily understandable way for non-AIESECers. We are unable to set the right expectations during promotion and selection process of newies and we are not sure what can we offer them in the long run. What is Future Talent going to bring us: - Clear statement of what AIESEC membership program is - What is our unique value proposition and how to communicate it to the students
- Better communication of our mission and purpose of organization - Allocation of our members in a more efficient way - Make our program more attractive to the external world
This is what we aim to change with Future Talent. Our goal is to truly understand what AIESEC can offer to students, promote it and deliver it. Future Talent is a brand that goes together with Global Citizen and Global Talent and will allow us to define our specific customers and offer them our value proposition. It is a membership program developed by AIESEC for young people who are looking for different opportunities for their personal and professional development in different areas. Future Talent booklet is here to help you to become acquainted with our new brand and give you the overview and resources necessary to understand it and work with it. As a result, new members (and also current ones) of AIESEC should realize what are they signing themselves into and what they will get out of AIESEC Experience. Even you are Future Talent. Own it, believe it, make it happen.

During selection process we already start to engage people more deeply with AIESEC. Therefore we need to insure they have clear understanding of our organization and opportunities AIESEC is providing to them. This is crucial part in which they already start their individual connection with organization by choosing the Sub product and JD they want to work on and set up their future development through AIESEC. To insure this process goes smoothly and brings us the best result here you can see how selection flow should look like:
Basic questions (short CV), why they want to join, for which sub-product they are applying for - checking the basic profile of each applicant. Presentation about AIESEC and explanation of opportunities and questions - candidates receive a booklet with opportunities and based on this they need to decide for which 2 JDs they are applying for. With this we ensure that candidates are 100 % clear what AIESEC is about and what AIESEC can offer them and in that way set up clear expectations from the start and also make induction period more faster. Because of small number of people who can be included in recruitment process from LC side, AC is the first step of selection. Selection is based on general profile of AIESECer (how he works in team, with different people, his opinions...) and specific profile of sub-product he is applying for (how much the candidate is suitable for JDs he is applying for). It can be physical or phone – selection based on general profile of AIESECer, expectations, motivation and final check about position he is applying for. Obligatory part of selection process. In case selected candidates don’t show up they can not be accepted in AIESEC.
The main purpose of the Future Talent is to insure members individual connection with organization by providing them with customized and valuable experiences for their development. Recruiting according sub products will allow us to target and select right people for our positions. More important, during their experience we will know what we need to provide to each member based on the sub-product he is part of. We will insure members individual connection with organization and higher quality of experience we provide which will result on them staying longer, as well as the knowledge and experience they gain. With the sub-products, from the start we know what expectations our members have towards their experience in AIESEC and what we need to deliver to each one of them. We are able to customized our approach delivering them the right educations, trainings and future opportunities that fits to their profile and area in which they want to develop. This will also help team leaders in managing their members setting up clear picture how they need to work with each one of them. With the career paths members can see what type of opportunities AIESEC can offer to them in their are of development. Using career paths it will help us to guide our members in the right direction during their experience, but also our members will be able to picture how AIESEC fits in their long term development plan and from the beginning plan their path in AIESEC. Each member should create his career path in the first month of his experience and update it in the middle and end of each experience.
Is Future Talent going to change our Talent Planning? Future Talent is not going to change the way how we do our Talent Planning. It is going to help us to easily find the right profile of the members for our positions, provide them with better experiences customized to their personal needs and deliver higher quality of our TMP program. This means that after regular Talent Planning each JD for open TMP positions needs to fit to some of the sub-products based on sub-product description and value proposition. By this we are going to be able to set up right expectations during promotion period and insure that the people can choose the JDs they want to work on. What if I don’t have some of the JD’s in my LC that are listed in the booklet? Purpose of the booklet is just to give explanations and instructions how to use Future Talent as our TMP product. Every LC will have customized JDs based on their needs and people they are missing, the same goes for the use of the sub-products (if you don’t have need for one sub-product you don’t promote that specific sub-product) Do I need to run all proposed selection processes? Proposed selecton flow is ideal way how selection process of newies should look like. Obligatory parts of the selection process are application and introduction meetings, while other processes should to be costumized by the LC Tier and capacity of the LC to run other selection processes. What if someone wants to change his career path? The ideal scenario is that member is part of the same sub-product during his whole experience by folowing the career path of the sub-product. Still, member is able to move to the other sub-products and with that, he should update his career path so we can still make sure we deliver him the best experience we can.
