Our Vision | National Leadership Development Conference ‘11
Recently there has been much discussion around the topics of how we can foster entrepreneurship in Canada and
how we can attract and retain top Canadian business talent in the National Capital Region.
AIESEC proposes a solution: National Leadership Development Conference 2011 in Ottawa. This conference will be
a platform for top business talent from 28 Canadian universities to come together and receive training on leadership
and entrepreneurship. The students will also be addressed and inspired by examples of Canadian business success,
and interact with the Ottawa business community so that the business leaders of tomorrow can gain a national
perspective on the future challenges and opportunities our country faces.
We aim to define and develop Canada’s position in the global economy, one we believe is strongly linked to an image
of business leadership, striving for excellence, diversity, and cultural understanding. Our organization believes we
can contribute to furthering Canada’s internal and external success by equipping our delegates with the skills they
need to become more entrepreneurial in foreign markets, to develop world-class businesses that are both socially
responsible and sustainable, and to act as ambassadors for Canada and Canadian business abroad.

National Leadership Development Conference ‘11 | AIESEC | Our Organization
AIESEC is the world’s largest student-run organization and the leading platform for young people to develop their leadership potential. AIESEC is composed of over 50,000 student and recent graduate volunteers from over 107 countries, plus a network of over one million alumni that includes leaders of industry and heads of state. AIESEC provides its members with the skills and experience needed to transform them from high-potential students into the leaders of tomorrow. AIESEC’s innovative development process consists of unmatched leadership experiences and global internships.
Leadership
A key advantage AIESEC members have over many students is that they regularly acquire real-world skills and experiences, often relating to their areas of study. Volunteering in AIESEC fosters valuable competencies including leadership, teamwork, interpersonal skills, and time management. AIESEC members volunteer 8 to 20 hours a week while managing university and jobs because they recognize that their AIESEC experience is an investment in their future.
The Global Internship Program
AIESEC’s Global Internship Program connects companies with an immense talent pool of the best and brightest students. Those students are in turn provided with work experience in either management, technical skills, development, or education. All parties benefit greatly from the inevitable exchange of international perspectives and global ideas. For over 60 years companies have relied on the Global Internship Program to meet their employment needs by gaining access to a global network of responsible young leaders.
