What is AIESEC Exchange? How does it work?
AIESEC Exchange is a unique work abroad program, which offers the AIESEC members high quality internships in a variety of companies, including Siemens, Electrolux, Kraft Foods, DHL, GE Money, Accenture plus smaller companies and organisations. What you need is an open mind, 120 study points and an age under 30 years old. The basic idea is that the AIESEC committees in each country raise jobs for the AIESEC members coming from other countries. The jobs are collected in an international database, limited to the use of AIESEC trainees and the people involved in the process. Once you have been accepted to the program you have 6 months to find yourself a place.
