WHAT THEY’VE SAID

The United Nations has long recognised that the imagination, ideals and energies of young men and women are vital for the continuing development of the societies in which they live. AIESEC has contributed

to this development by serving as an agent of positive change through

education and cultural exchange to develop a broader understanding of

cultural, socioeconomic and business management issues.

ABOUT AIESEC 7 exchange students in Stockholm, Sweden created AIESEC post World War II in 1948.

“To expand the understanding of a nation by expanding the understanding of the individuals, changing the world one person at a time.” AIESEC is the global youth network impacting the world through leadership development experiences, and today we are the world’s largest youth-run organisation. We offer students and recent graduates a chance to facilitate and undertake professional internships and volunteer programs, providing them with a global perspective, and a chance to apply skills learnt in a practical environment. We also offer students the opportunity to be global citizens, change the world and gain the experiences and skills that matter today, by running the organisation.

OUR CORE VALUES Living Diversity: Seeking to learn from the different ways of life and opinions represented in our multicultural environment. Activating Leadership: Lead by example and inspire leadership through our activities. We take full responsibility for developing the youth leadership potential of our members. Enjoying Participation: Creating a dynamic environment through active and enthusiastic participation of individuals. Demonstrating Integrity: Consistency and transparency in our decisions and actions. Striving for Excellence: We aim to deliver the highest quality performance in everything we do, through creativity and innovation. Acting Sustainably: Act in a way that is sustainable for our organisation and society. Our decisions take into account future generations.

“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 ” 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.

“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” 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.

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

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.

MISSION STATEMENT “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.

PROPOSED PRODUCTS

“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”

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