This is where it began...
…50 years ago, a devastating war
gave birth to a new visionof
hope.
“After the war, the thirst for knowledge, the desire to move, compare and imagine new professional and international relationships, seized us, students as we were. It was a period of great creativity and of initiatives coming
together. We tried to be visionary and realistic as our studies encouraged us to be".
-Jean Choplin, Presiding Country Committee President, 1950 - 1951
“…peace was the most essential thing in life, and therefore
we should enhance peace through international understanding…” - Jean Choplin
“One by One,
We exchangePeople.”
(it’s pronounced eye-sec)

International Association of Students in Economics and Business
Management
However, because our membership has grown to encompass a much wider range of disciplines than only
economics and commerce, we no longer use the acronym. Our role in society and the core work we do are reflected more through the nature of Aiesec and its

“ I came home nine months after with a heavy bag full of new experiences, new friends and a different look upon my life…I have learned that you should never judge something or someone you don’t know and that all people are the same.”
~ Lene Styner (Denmark)
After traineeship in USA
With this, we’re looking for students with open minds--those who are willing to try something different, expand their horizons and redefine themselves
However, please note that Aiesec is not to be mistaken to be a type of JOB PLACEMENT AGENCY. Nor do we facilitate any kind of study abroad program.
“My experience as a whole will have a long-term affect on me. I will always be thankful that I was given this
opportunity. Being able to experience a culture very different from my own is an experience I will never forget.
It has made me realize how diversity is something you really don't understand until you are the one that is different. I come from a predominantly white, upper
middle class area in the US. India is like a whole different world. Everything is different - culture, business, politics, religion, the basic ways of life. I have made many friends
here whom I hope to stay in contact with in the future. Overall, I feel that this experience has made me a more
complete and better person.”
