AIESEC looking for new members

Internships in AIESEC provide hands on, real life experience for the working world, according to the organisation, that is present in over 113 countries with over 86,000 members worldwide. AIESEC wants to help students get prepared.

We want members to build up confidence, skills, and leadership for future work and learn about making a positive impact on society,« says Selina Leung, Organizing Committee Vice-President of Recruitment.
