1. AIESEC and it’s projects today - internships
Currently there are 3 exchange-related products we sell to students and enablers (companies, start-ups, schools, NGOs, etc.). Their differentiation can be seen in the chart, below branding. A recent change in global direction from “students” to “youth” means, that these products are available to all young people between 18 and 30 years of age.
1. AIESEC and it’s projects today - social impact In Slovakia, we want young people to understand cultural differences in the world, communicate with others effectively, be proactive and self-aware. This project brings interns from all over the world to host lectures and interactive workshops in elementary and high schools around Slovakia. Curricula are adjusted for different age groups to make all kids between the ages of 6 and 18 develop themselves to be the youth we want to see. Project is organised under patronage of Ministry of Education and contributes to SDG 4 - Quality education. More information at www.educateslovakia.sk. Right now, this is the biggest project of AIESEC in Slovakia. In January and February 2017 we have an ambition to bring in over 500 interns and reach out to 5% of young people in Slovakia. A part of this project’s impact is generated through Host Families, which play a unique role in experiencing the culture of Slovakia for foreign interns. The duration of stay can be between 1 and 6 weeks, which is the full duration of the project. Main benefits include practicing a foreign language (English or else), experiencing a foreign culture first-hand or friendships around the world.
1. AIESEC and it’s projects today - corporate partnerships
National conferences
An employer branding opportunity for a company to get to know active AIESEC-ers and build a pool of potential future employees. Activities include workshops, panel discussion, distribution of brand materials, etc.
YouthSpeak Forum
The only external event of AIESEC will be hosted this November in Košice and in April 2017 in Bratislava. We’re connecting active youth with companies to find solutions for social challenges implied by this survey. Opportunity for direct recruitment.
Recruitment
Opportunity to increase the brand positioning of a company amongst university students and universities all around Slovakia.
Outgoing internships for companies
Following the trend of opening internships for youth in ages 18-30, we can help companies to send their employees for a sabbatical - an AIESEC internship, to gain new energy and ideas before returning back to work in full strength.
50. anniversary
Partners of the celebration event happening on December 3rd have the possibility to position themselves in front of AIESEC Alumni as a potential employer or business partner. Options vary from in-kind to financial support.

Key challenges: • internal - promotion timeline and workload on Marketing area wasn’t managed well, which was a reason for small recruitment and caused delays later on, • outgoing internships losing in competition of other programs (W&T, EVS, etc.) - we need to find a new market or way we sell it to young people. 23 21

3. Q4 plan
Educate Slovakia
Currently our most stable project, our plan is to use this as a growth driver for the entire network. It will generate enough financial (>40% profitability) and human resources (highest member retention), what will enable us to stabilise the whole entity. Activities: • sales - approaching elementary and high schools, account management, • interns’ selection and preparation - making sure they have the skills needed, visa prep., • strategic partnerships - looking for philanthropists, media or other partners, • logistics - arranging host families or other means of accommodation.
Recruitment & induction
Gaining more than 150 new members to join the organisation and preparing them for the delivery of winter projects. Ensuring team standards implementation (a guideline to deliver proper team experiences), testing new mentorship programs.
MC sales
Account management and new sales for national partners. Delivery of first major events Dare conference, YouthSpeak Forum Košice and 50th anniversary.

4. Alumni help needed
