AIESEC Aarhus experience
For society
The Aiesec experience consists of several steps and stages. The core of the experience is engagement with Aiesec, when a person gets familiar with the organisation and its vision. Starting with this point, this person can begin an activity by participating in the Global Exchange Program (GIP) or the Global Community Development Program (GCDP). These two programs are the main products that AIESEC Aarhus, offers for the local society. GIP is an internship track, students may choose to attend abroad for up to 12 months, and the GCDP is focused on making an impact on international community by offering a student's volunteer work in a needed society. Creating a life-long connection, the last stage of AIESEC experience carries the student's interaction with the companies and the efficient application of their learned skills in building their future careers.
