But all these do not happen just by joining the organization. Members are exposed to many opportunities (mainly team member and team leader positions). It is up to them to grab the opportunities and start their experience. The growth of AIESEC members depends on them only; the way they are working (pro-active, taking initiatives etc.), the choices and decisions they are making. AIESECers with experience are known to be faster than others in their career and tend to be entrepreneurs, because they are innovators and it is hard for them to have a routine job and not directly making a change. However, despite being a great and one of the best organizations in the world, all members have to leave it at a certain point in time. By the end of the day, what the members get out of AIESEC is not a title of President or Vice-President, but the AIESEC Experience, during which they have acquired leadership skills and have been exposed to an environment that is very similar to the corporate world.
Every AIESECer understands the organization in his/her own way and the above is my understanding of AIESEC and what I got out of it. Today I am applying all that I have learned from AIESEC in Agriculture which is helping me in making a change. I strongly encourage all youths who want to develop their leadership skills to join AIESEC and lead the change.
