Everything you need to know about our exchange programmeTRANSCRIPT
AIESEC is an international, independent, not-for-profit, non-political organization run by students and recent graduates at institutions of higher education across 124 countries and territories. Our platform provides our members with an integrated development experience comprised of leadership opportunities, international internships, and a global learning environment. AIESEC also seeks to develop relationships with various organizations aiming at interacting with its top-talented youth membership base, physically and virtually through value-based partnerships. The organization was founded in Western Europe in 1948 at the end of World War II to promote cross-cultural understanding and leadership to youth as a means to a avoid another conflict, and has since provided membership experience to over one million alumni worldwide. Our exchange and membership programs have been endorsed by the United Nations, CEOs of multinational corporations and leaders of top-level human development organizations.
BECOME A GLOBAL CITIZENStudents from over 15 respected universities in
Nigeria have volunteered abroad through AIESEC.
Our Global Citizen program combines cultural
immersion with social responsibility to provide an
impactful experience. Most opportunities have a
shirt-term duration of six to ten weeks and are
categorized based on relevant social needs and
issues in the developing world. Students with a
background or vested interest in these fields can
choose from over 8,000 opportunities on our
internal platform. Our various partners and
positions provide Exchange Participants (EPs) with the global experiences they crave.
Internship placement is based on primarily on personal and professional qualifications in the specific area the opportunity covers. Internships are not guaranteed and the best way to ensure you’re matched to your ideal internship is to keep in contact
with your local committee and meet all deadlines set.

ENDORSEMENTS"For more than thirty years, PricewaterhouseCoopers has been proud supporter of AIESEC. At present, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ partnership with AIESEC involves over 50 territories and is constantly proving successful. Leading in our business means being able to foster positive change by managing complex situations on a global scale. In order to achieve this, we need to be able to reach a high level of understanding of the complexity of the external environment and succeed in operating out of the normal comfort zone. For this we need young people and AIESEC unites a global network of talented and innovative, young people who strive to make a positive contribution to the world celebrating cultural diversity, leadership and teamwork. On behalf of the partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers I am honoured to endorse AIESEC’s vision of 'peace and fulfilment of mankind's potential.'“
Sam DiPiazzaCEO, PricewaterhouseCoopers Global
"In an era of globalization, [AIESEC's] programs have helped young people around the world to develop a broader understanding of cultural, socio-economicand business management issues."

ENDORSEMENTS"AIESEC opens the world up to young people, and it opened it up for me. Through their programs, work opportunities, conferences and outreach they surmount cultural barriers and foster a deeper and more meaningful sense of global possibility. My time in AIESEC brought tremendous growth for me, and through it I saw how so many of our problems and challenges, as well as our blessings and strengths, are universal for people around the globe. It is a special fellowship, one of purpose and vision, and proof of its sustained value can be found in the fact that the first class 50 years ago had less than 100 students enrolled in it and now AIESEC is in almost 100countries. I will always be grateful for what I learned both through the people who ran the programs and my peers in them.”
Secretary of State John KerryAIESEC intern to Switzerland through AIESEC Yale,Yale Class of 1966
"In our experience AIESEC students possess exactly the qualities we are looking for: international and interculturalawareness, integrity, intuition and communication skills. We are always happy to have talented, committed and open-minded AIESEC students on internships with us and to share their spirit which enriches the corporate culture tremendously."
