AIESEC internships span a multitude of fields including working with NGOs and community-based organisations, interning in a small or medium scale enterprise to develop its business overseas, working on human resources and financial practices in large firms, teaching languages in educational institutes and last but not the least specialised technical and engineering internships. AIESEC has seen an increase of internships facilitated within the technical field apart from a steep jump within the one’s dealing with working with NGOs & Schools. The technical internships growth is facilitated by increased demand of talent with experience in network management & data transmission, systems analysis & design, software development and programming, mechanical engineering and chemical engineering.
