OGX

What is the unique value proposition of oGIP to the Finnish students considering these three

facts:

Graduates in B.A. & I.T. earn 6 times more salary than a GIP.

Finns are used to high living standards

Finns plan 4-6 months in advance for anything they want to do and they start planning

their major travels up to a year in advance

Considering that September is the time when we have the biggest (Global leader)

recruitment in AIESEC in Finland, how will you ensure a parallel recruitment for Global

Citizen ensuring an optimum winter peak?

Finns decide what to do in summer as early as January, but globally most of the TNs are

uploaded around March for the summer. Considering that Finns are picky about the

destinations that they want to go to, and these entities aren’t willing to align their whole

cycle just for one partner, How will you ensure that the summer peak happens smoothly

with entity partners in this case?

Do you consider that issues that we are focusing on (education and environment) for

oGCDP, are relevant for Finnish students? Why?

ICX

Considering that more than 90% of the companies in Finland have less than 10

employees, with a lower budget and almost no hiring needs, how will you evolve the

iGIP product and tap into this market?

Looking at the current state of the Finnish economy, with layoffs & budget cuts, what

are the value propositions of:

iGIP to companies. (Considering that Finnish law states that the company should recruit

the same amount of Finnish people that they laid off before they can hire expats)

iGCDP to schools. (Considering that the city funds all the schools and they have almost

no money to take TNs.)

Currently, all the iGCDP projects are small local projects run by LCs. There is no clear

plan for implementing a big national project. Considering that, CSR projects have been

never sold to big companies before, and taking into account bigger companies take

really long time to approve money for huge CSR projects. How will you create a self-

sustainable national iGCDP project in the term 15-16?

List all the grants that you believe AIESEC in Finland can apply for? How do you think we
