Professional Development

earning money or travelling.

WHY Programme Benefits

Cross-cultural Experiences

cuisine, language, economy and the

travel abroad.

In Viet Nam, the phenomenon of

globalization has both brought out

opportunities and posed the country

numerous challenges for the past few years.

One of the highlighted challenges is that the

current workforce for management level do

not usually possess a global mindset due to

the lack of international working experience.

environment, which will be a strategic move

on their career journey. Because these

experiences will work to their advantages

basis in the host country, AIESEC will have no

Marketing Global Talent Think global act local “Think global, act local” is a well-used slogan, and it sums

up the nature of engaging in global marketing. Culture

clash, global blunders and technological barriers are the

most challenging things that any marketer will encounter

when they work abroad.

therefore, offers young people the chance to challenge

their limits when they have to familiarise themselves with

languages, culture, tradition, economic conditions, social

issues, symbolism… of the country as even colors can

make a difference. In the U.S., white is a color for purity; in

Japan, it represents death. Red connotes danger in the

U.S., but it symbolizes luck in China.

Indonesia, India and Turkey.

“I start to build my future career with the very first

stones from Global Talent programme”

In the first week, I only stayed at International Affairs office

and had some short talks with one or two people. They

helped me to understand the company and shared with

me many things about living and travelling in Nagoya.

From the second week, I went out with people in Sales

department. The job of staff in Sales department is to meet

customers and negotiate about the chemical products of

Tsuchiya. Their main customer is Toyota and that’s the great

reason why I had a wonderful internship. I had the chance

to visit so many museums as well as so many plants of

Toyota. Thanks to this internship, I gazed with my own eyes

the incredible manufacturing process of Toyota, with lots of

automatic robots. Besides, I also viewed many newest

model cars of this famous group and even sat on a modern

model, which is going to be used in the future. That’s about

Toyota and of course, Tsuchiya didn’t connect me to only

Toyota. The customers of Tsuchiya are other big groups such

as Denso, Nissan, Brother, Canon etc. The more customers

Tsuchiya have, the more museums, companies, factories…

you can visit.

When I was small, I had a dream to visit Japan and thanks

to this internship, my dream already came true. Japanese

are truly hospitable and amiable, to the point my eyes

often went teary receiving their kindness.
