Flow of the AIESEC Exchange Program

The Quality of the AIESEC Exchange Program is measured through a specific competency management system.

The experience is measured through the development of the following aspects in an individual: Personal Development, Professional Development, Societal Impact, International Experience & developing a Global Network. This is also AIESEC’s Brand Promise.

AIESEC promises to develop Change Agent Characteristics in every individual and this is the basis of the competency Model of AIESEC
