How do we make the match with my EP?

The OGX flow has 5 main steps:


Pre-recruitment

During this part of flow we`re doing Segmentation of target audience. After this we plan our goals for recruitment.


LC Recruitment

Exchange Experience

It is realization period. Exchange participants come to destination LC and starts their exchange experience. Also they communicate within home LC to control their internship process.


THE OGX FLOW:


And on the TN side?

The ICX Flow has 4 main steps:


Sales Preparation

For an appropriate sales preparation you have to conduct proper SEGMENTATION & TARGETING. At the end of this step you know WHO you want to approach for sales. Then you have to identify the best approach on HOW to do this through setting the POSITIONING strategy.


SellingOnce the positioning strategy is defined you move into EXECUTING THE POSITIONING STRATEGY which brings us to SALES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL:• Sales meetings/appointments• Constant follow up’s• Signing the TN-Form


Matching&Delivery


Matching&Delivery

This is one of the LONGEST parts of the process that will ensure the success of others. This step starts with all the logistical processes that AIESEC will run such as entering the TN form on aiesec.net, matching the form & exchanging acceptance.


Matching&Delivery

Once these are in place we are moving into the processes that focus on the processes that are focussed on the interns experience like reception, preparation, induction into the organisation & Local Committee etc.


Matching&Delivery

The last part of this step is focussed on building a relationship with the TN taker which includes organisation preparation & intern integration into the organisation.


Re-Raising
