Step 1: Become a member

To go on an internship with AIESEC, it is reccomanded to be a member first.

Additionally, it is expected that you participate in your local committee before leaving. However, it is up to you to decide how much time you want to invest. It usually depends on how motivated you are.

Step 2: The Interview

After deciding that you want to go on an internship, you go through the "Student Review Board" (SRB).

At the interview, your english skills will be tested, as well as your motivation and your attitude for you internship. This is necessary due to the fact that we promise our clients a certain quality of students with certain competencies.

Step 3: Apply for Internships

After having passed the SRB, you will have access to our online database. By having this access, you can start looking for your internship and start applying. It is also possible that a company contacts you directly for their open internship.

Normally, you need about a month to find your internship. However, the more flexible you are, the easier you will find an internship.

Step 4: Attend the Seminar

Before you leave for your internship, you have to attend an "Exchange Preparation Seminar"(XPS).

This is a one day Seminar which will prepare you for your internship abroad. Main topics are How to Deal with Culture Shock or How to Represent Your Country.

Step 5: The Internship

The most important step of the whole process is of course the internship itself.

An apartment as well as all necessary documents for getting a visa is organized by the AIESEC committee. They also help you during the first few days when you arrive at your destination and introduce you to the other interns.

Step 6: Coming Back

AIESEC also supports you after your internship.
