Research and Marketing : Research and Marketing Establish LC-2-LC cooperations, esp. with LCs you have matched before
NC TNs: Use all Communication Channels to achieve as many who match and you can work with, C TNs: Find those you know you will match
Involve Returnees/Trainees even more into the Recruitment
Find local Market Gaps for your Offers!
Always listen and ask your MC/NST and their services (e.g. the NXPs) offered
Embrace new ideas! Most of the time what has not been done yet brings success!
Application and Pre-Selection : Application and Pre-Selection Either do an Interview (predefined questionnaire) or an Assessment Center together with a company to find your EPs
Case Study AIESEC in Brazil (much stricter to Newies than in Germany, other reputation)
Website where you can register for DT/ET or MT/TT or apply to work in the LC
If you have the required background you are invited to an intensive interview
If given a yes to you corresponding next steps are undertaken by LC (Allocation, Newie Conference for Members and EPs…)
Selection and Formalities : Selection and Formalities AI has now introduced the new Exchange Program Policies (XPP), with the following major changes
„International Control Board“ (Cp. Wiki on myaiesec.net) to guarantee Exchange Quality
New Documents (Six overall, hosting and sending entities documents are more detailed)
New Regulations (Mostly rules that strenghten the side of trainees that were not happy with the quality)
There will be special trainings about it by the MC/NST
Preparation and Matching : Preparation and Matching What‘s new?
Expectation check: In a way you already know the expectations, since you just contacted the „right“ students
TN Search: A big part of them you have already via local/national cooperations/services, the rest (esp. for your members) you search „old-school“ and keep a big eye on Facebook, spreadsheets, e-mails etc
Acceptance Notes: Cp. to XPP (new documents)
Travel Refund: Has become more difficult to get now, no further information yet available
Internship and Reintegration : Internship and Reintegration Stay in touch preferably on Facebook Groups instead of only with their Blogs („I am a German EP“, or open local groups)
Contact your EPs even or especially when everything is going good (Establish trust)
For problem-solving consider new XPP regulations and with bad quality you can open up a case at ICB
In the Selection Interview try to talk a lot about whether it is realistic for the EP to join the LC after the X
Slide 14 : Thank you for your attention!
I hope you will change even more lives now!
