Spring 2016
Application Booklet
Dear applicant,
Great that you are considering a board position within AIESEC Maastricht! Since
1948, more than 1 million students have fulfilled a board position within the
largest international student-run NGO in the world: AIESEC!
This booklet will help you to understand the bigger picture of this organization, why
and how it was established, but also why this organization can be relevant for you.
All over the world, there are more than 90.000 students from 125 different countries
working for AIESEC.
Every AIESEC experience depends on the person that decides to take on the challenge. What do you want to develop,
learn or experience? Do you want to work in a close team, learn how to guide and coach people, send students on an
exchange and have a major impact on their life's, set up and maintain relations with multinational companies and
organisations, or have you always wanted to attend an international conference with delegates from all over the globe
and establish meaningful relationships? Anything is possible, and an AIESEC board year, both full-time and part-time,
gives you the opportunities to do so.
We hope that after reading this booklet you will have a good image of all the things AIESEC can provide and hopefully
you will be even more interested to apply for a part-time or full- time board position. Enjoy reading and we are looking
forward to receive your application!
On behalf of AIESEC Maastricht,
Karlijn Feskens
Local Committee President of AIESEC Maastricht 2015- 2016
The History of AIESEC
In 1948, seven economics and business students of Western Europe came together in Stockholm. They founded of what
has grown out to be the largest international student-run association of the world: AIESEC.
AIESEC is an acronym for Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales: an
organisation set up for students in economics, business and related studies. Nowadays, AIESEC is no longer strictly an
economics and business related organization, it is open for students of every study.
With the idea of recovering the good relations between European countries, the founders of AIESEC aimed for peace
and fulfilment of humankind’s potential. They believed they would achieve this goal by giving individuals the experience
of living and working abroad themselves. By giving people cultural experiences, they would create mutual cultural
understanding.
Currently AIESEC has grown from 7 to 125 countries. AIESEC has become the largest student association in the world,
with about 90,000 active members at this very moment. It forms an international platform for young people to discover
and develop their leadership potential, and have a positive impact on society.
“I commend AIESEC's continuing efforts to develop the future business leadership of our countries.“
Nelson Mandela
AIESEC’s Programs
At AIESEC, we aim to develop students next to their university studies. With increasing globalization and an abundance
of political, religious and cultural disputes all over the world, there is a need for a generation of young entrepreneurial
and ambitious people who look further than just the boundaries of their studies and their own country. Within AIESEC,
our goal is to develop these students, and give them the tools to have a positive impact on society in their professional
lives later on. In order to do this, AIESEC has two main programs which are in line with our Leadership Development
Model (LDM):
Board Positions
AIESEC Maastricht is run by a board of 29 students. We have part-time positions (team members in one of the four
teams), and we have six full-time positions in the Executive Board of AIESEC Maastricht. In these functions everyone
gets the chance to develop themselves in both a professional and personal way.
Exchange Programs
In order to create global cultural understanding, we send people all over the world on professional internships (Global
Internship Programs) and volunteer projects (Global Community Development Program). In addition, we also receive
interns from every corner of the world, and place them at companies in the Limburg region to pursue traineeships.
It’s all part of the experience…
A sparkling year is what you can expect when you choose to fulfill a board position at AIESEC! At our local office in
Maastricht, we currently work in a team of 29 motivated and ambitious students in four different teams. On a daily basis,
we run our processes, we talk to students, to companies, we write strategy, we send and receive students to and from all
around the world, we organize events and of course, we have a lot of fun. A board position within AIESEC is based on 4
pillars.
