Developing Responsible and Entrepreneurial Young Leaders It is incredible that an not-for-profit organization run by students with a 100% yearly turn-over of its entire executive can have the kind of global impact it has: but nonetheless, AIESEC is an organization that impacts 80,000 youth around the world every year and creates over 27,000 international internship opportunities every year. It is truly amazing that student volunteers around the world are able to build this organization and have such an impact and it is because of a common mission that unites us: improving the world by developing responsible and entrepreneurial young leaders that will have an impact around us.

National Congress 2013 - #nomorecomplacency This year, AIESEC Canada bought together 2300 student volunteers who had incredible professional and personal development experiences. These volunteers (some of whom you see above) dedicated hours to self-improvement and providing opportunities for others. Last fiscal year, AIESEC Canada sent 446 students abroad on international internships, and bought 83 interns into Canada to work for organizations in Canada. Their dedication to leadership development represents AIESEC Canada’s mission and our #nomorecomplacency attitude demonstrates our ambition to do more!


Our Core Programs: How We Do It

1) Membership Development (See Appendix One)

AIESEC has an intensive membership development program that revolves around our core product: international internships. AIESEC provides a unique learning opportunity by running over 30 training conferences per year, while motivating and guiding students through the practical experience of running the organization. In AIESEC Canada, students from 30 universities across Canada run branches of the organization.

Students in charge of these branches are in charge of everything from marketing our international internship product, sales to companies, accounting, investment strategies, innovation, human resources, and running conferences. The process of running the internship program itself is an incredible leadership opportunity.

2) International Internships (See Appendix Two)

Our core product, the international internship, is the most essential part of our organization. Whether a student goes abroad on an international internship, meets a student who has gone abroad, or meets an incoming intern: these students are learn to think globally. They learn to think about the challenges we face in the world, Canada’s role as a leader, and the impact they can make with the skills and inspiration they have gained through AIESEC.


3) Canada Youth to Business Forum (see Appendix Three)

The youth perspective is changing faster and more dramatically then ever before. Businesses need to understand youth as customers, but also youth as employees in order to better capture the creativity and innovative ideas of youth. The Youth to Business Forum is an annual conference that brings 300 young leaders from 30 universities across campus together with business leaders to discuss issues related to Canada’s competitiveness.

In addition, AIESEC Canada and Leger Marketing have agreed to a five-year partnership to conduct the Leger Youth Voice Survey which goes out to youth across Canada. The ability to do analytical research along side the forum adds credibility to the work that we do.

By brining youth and businesses together to discuss issues in Canada to the forefront, students who have developed the leadership skills in AIESEC to make an impact can be inspired and informed to make impact in areas relevant to Canada.

Building a Future with AIESEC Canada

1) Bi-lateral Large Scale Exchange Partnership (Appendix Four)

At our core, AIESEC develops leadership by providing international internship opportunities. In doing so, AIESEC can source some of the best talent from 124 countries around the world. Organizations like DHL, PWC, and UBS use AIESEC to recruit, filter, and mobilize international talent all across the world.

AIESEC would like your support to speak to leading Consumer Packaged Goods organizations about establishing a large-scale bi-lateral internship program. Imagine the ability to source talent and exchange 10 student interns between Canada and 2-3 key international markets for a CPG such as India, China, Brazil, or Colombia.

AIESEC can bring great value to CPG organizations, and the value that the exchange brings to AIESEC members is incredible. This would be a great way to partner with CPG organizations.

2) Remaining Theme Partner & Sponsor for Youth to Business 2014

As explained above, Youth to Business is one of our highest impact conferences. An organization sponsoring at the theme partner level has the opportunity to run:

1) Two Workshops 2) A Business Creativity Case 3) A Recruitment Booth

The business creativity case is especially interesting for a CPG organization. The case is the perfect opportunity to develop an understanding of the youth perspective as a potential customer, while having them think in your shoes and understand the purpose and thought-process behind your brand.

3) Youth to Business Forum 2015 CPG Stream

AIESEC Canada’s Youth to Business Forum 2015 will be in Calgary and will be an incredible shift in the way we conduct our forum. Currently, AIESEC’s chief sponsors are within the Oil and Gas Sector and the Financial Sector. AIESEC would like you to support us in making Consumer Product Goods the third major theme for the Youth to Business Forum 2015.

We imagine for example, youth engaging with leaders in VP’s and other leaders in CPG like P&G, Unilever, McCain Foods, Labatt, and PepsiCo on an issue such as the changes in technology and its impact on marketing strategies and community investment strategies within CPG organizations.


Conclusion In Conclusion, AIESEC Canada would be honoured to have your support. AIESEC is an organization run on the passion and spirit of young volunteers who want to develop the skills they need to make an impact on the world. In order to scale that impact, AIESEC Canada could use your support in developing a large scale bi-lateral exchange program, finding the remaining theme partner and sponsor for Youth to Business 2014, and as a key supporter in bringing in CPG leaders and creating a CPG stream for the Youth to Business Forum 2015. Thank you for taking the time to learn about AIESEC Canada. We look forward to working with you in the future.

At Guelph we have hired over a dozen AIESEC participants for both technical and non-technical roles (analysts, communications, networking, public relations, etc.) in our computing services area. I can honestly say that without exception they have been an extraordinary complement to our staff and exceptional workers. And as a wonderful bonus, they brought their unique experience and culture into our organization. I can’t recommend this program highly enough.

AIESEC is about developing young leaders – not in theory, but in practice. The National Sales Program (NSP) is more than a sales training program for AIESEC members – it’s a leadership development program for youth. NSP’s professionally designed learning modules, interactive workshops, and hands-on mock sales calls with business people provide students with a training experience like no other.

Youth to Business

Youth to BusinessSurvey

The Canada Youth to Business Forum brought businesses and students together to engage in a unique dialogue on relevant topics to both Canadian businesses and student communities.

On May 3, 2013, AIESEC Canada convened student leaders from 29 universities across the country for this dialogue with senior business representatives to address the question: “Is Canada on the right track to become a competitive and sustainable global leader?”

Forum

Leger Marketing became a strategic partner of AIESEC Canada this year, offering to support AIESEC in gathering realtime data from students across the country. AIESEC has been the national youth voice during its 60 year history in Canada. However, this is the first time it has had the support necessary to collect and showcase national youth opinion on topics relevant to students and employers. The survey this year focused on whether or not Canada was on the right track to become a sustainable and competitive, global leader. The results of the survey complemented the discussions and content of the Youth to Business Forum.

Youth Perspective

v

vMike PhamAIESEC Calgary

DANIAL MAZHAR SHAFI, AIESEC McGill“A major Y2B learning is perspective - we normally choose to see ourselves as students and youth and believe that limits us in our scope. Y2B made it clear that was not the case. We are contributing members of the societal and business world and it falls on us to make the change we want to see. We need to see ourselves in that manner; as citizens who should contribute and raise issues instead of being sidelined and wait for opportunities to come to our doorstep.”

SIRISHA VALUPADAS, AIESEC Edmonton“I think the main thing I learned from the format is that some questions do not have simple answers. We might think we understand a situation having to do with CSR etc, but in actuality, there's so many layers to these problems. To understand and properly come up with solutions requires time. We as youth need to understand that because we're the type that are interested in immediate action and results.”

BENOIT MALRIC, AIESEC UQAM“I really liked the whole day. Everything was well planned and we had time to network, which was a plus. The Mayor of Calgary was very interesting and Jim Dinning’s speech was amazing and made me proud of my country. I think in Canada, we have a lot of resources we can use, but we have to manage them well. Also, we are growing in the CSR field which is great news.”

DOMINIC JAN SUNGA, AIESEC UBC“I thought that the panel was a great way to interact with the speakers, and also vice versa. The way it was set up made it possible for a rich conversation to continue. I believe that Canada is on the right track and moving in the right direction to becoming a competitive and sustainable global leader. However, with that said, we still have a long way to go. The speed in which we accomplish this goal will depend on how focused AIESEC Canada is, which is why Y2B was important because it brought the question into focus.”

Sponsorship Package

For four years, AIESEC International has bought together top leaders in over 100 countries together to Malaysia, India, Kenya, and Russia for our international Youth to Business Forum. These conferences are driven by a global need for businesses and youth to communicate on relevant issues. AIESEC internationally, has begun to occupy this space and pro-vide both a forum, and a survey (reaching 24,000 youth across the world), to become the leading youth voice.

In Canada, the Canadian Youth to Business Forum powered by AIESEC looks to accomplish the same goals for Canadians. For three years, AIESEC Canada has bought top business leaders and students together to engage in a unique dialogue on relevant topics to both the Canadian business and student community. With the introduction of the Canada Youth Voice Survey sponsored by Leger Marketing, AIESEC Canada has been able to grow and position itself as the leading Canadian Youth Voice on youth employability.

Business and Youth: Tackling the Tough Questions Head On

Bringing Youth and Business Together for Three Years

Companies like ours are here. We want to have this conversation. We want to be engaged. We’re interested in knowing the questions [students] are asking and where [they’re] coming from.

Past Keynote Speakers:

During the Canada Youth to Business Forum 2013, Business leaders from PwC, Cenovus, Calgary Economic Development, ATB Financial, Talisman Energy, The City of Calgary, and Waterlution, sat together with students to discuss the challenges we face in sustainability. We saw businesses and students alike learning from each other and shifting their perspectives. Here are some thoughts that were generated:

We might think we understand a situation having to do with CSR etc, but in actuality, there are so many layers to these problems. To under-stand and properly come up with solutions requires time. We as youth need to understand that because we're the type that are interested in immediate action and results.

I believe that Canada is on the right track and moving in the right direction to becoming a competitive and sustainable global leader. How-ever, with that said, we still have a long way to go. The speed in which we accomplish this goal will depend on how focused AIESEC Canada is, which is why Y2B was important. It brought the questions into focus.

Youth play a critical role in enhancing inno-vation and new thinking within businesses today. I can’t tell you how proud I am to sit alongside students, learn from their wisdom, and think differently about Canada and how it can be a more prosperous economy in the future.

SUSTAINABILITY

This year, the Canada Youth to Business Forum will address a growing problem in all facets of business and society – risk. Today, the Canadian economy needs more risk-tolerance and creativity. In the rapidly changing, and increasingly global economy, Canadians need to be willing to expose themselves to new ideas. On May 9th 2014, AIESEC Canada will convene 400 student leaders from 29 universities across the country to engage in dialogue with senior business representatives to address this question:

How do we work together to embrace risk and drive Canadian Competitiveness?

Theme:

World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index: Canada ranks 14th overall but 21st in innovation and sophistication factors.

“We (Canadian businesses) avoid risk at any cost, we don’t innovate; we stagnate. Canada needs more growth.” -- Deloitte

Whether it is transforming Canada's education system so as to unleash the creativity innate in all of us or cultivating a new form of international entrepreneurialism, the changes have to come from ground up, not the top down -- they have to come from individual action. – Todd Hirsch The Boiling Frog Dilemma

The Big Day

As we see in the 2013 Youth to Business Report, today’s youth are increasingly concerned with a company’s reputation when making career choices. More than that, youth will no longer tolerate organizations that refuse to enter a dialogue on today’s challenges. The Canadian Youth to Busi-ness Forum is the perfect forum to engage in a dialogue, communicate your company’s values, and show your company as a leader in Canadian society. By connecting your organizations core values and personality to those of top student leaders at the Youth to Business Forum, you will attract the right talent.

AIESEC, without question, is the breeding ground for the world’s future leaders. -Blake Goldring | President and CEO, AGF Management

This is a rare opportunity to engage with students actively seeking to supplement their education with practical real-world experiences. While some Canadian businesses struggle to build risk tolerance and create creative environments, AIESEC Canada has a history of developing entrepre-neurial leaders. Indeed, 6 of the 9 student Chief Executive Officers of AIESEC Canada Inc. from 1981-1994 are now CEOs of their own organizations. This is the perfect forum to engage with future leaders.
