REGIONALEXPANSIONGUIDE

term 2013-2014

Everything YOU need to know to START an

AIESEC ENTITY running in your region!

WHY REGIONAL EXPANSION?

When we hear of the Philippines, we think potential. This is the guiding principle of the Regional Expansion team. We want to explore, help and further build the potential of the Philippines by bringing and opening up the platform of AIESEC to regions where AIESEC is currently not present. Ultimately, we want the endless opportunities in AIESEC to be available to them as well. More than just opening an AIESEC entity in the region though, the team wants to ensure that these regions can implement AIESEC’s team and exchange programmes as a yardstick or a measure for sustainability. AIESEC’s impact, after all, is measured through how many experiences it is able to deliver and continuously deliver.

All in all, we believe that through the innate potential of these regions and with the help of the AIESEC platform and its opportunities, we will build a better, stronger Philippines.

To potential and impact,Regional Expansion Team

Market Research & Feasibility Study IThis is initial research and study conducted by the Regional Expansion Team assessing the demographics, local economy, transportation and student markets of the region.

Initial ContactInitial contact can happen three ways: through an AIESEC alumnus connecting the team to the university/students, through the college administration itself or through interested students of the region.

Talent RecruitmentUniversity students interested in becoming Initiative Group members go through an application process and virtual or physical interview with the Regional Expansion team.

Market Research & Feasibility Study IIThe final research includes surveys conducted in the student market to gauge feasibility of running the programmes and endorsement letters from the university and external companies.

Regional Visit & Contract SigningThe team will conduct a physical visit to conduct final orientation and induction to AIESEC as well as initial exchange trainings. Contract signed allows the Initiative Group to conduct operations.
