AIESEC in Sydney

AIESEC is the world’s largest youth-run organization that aims to enable young people to develop their leadership skills through learning from practical experiences in challenging environments. Present in over 120+ countries and having established roots in 11 Australian Universities including USYD, UNSW, MQ and UTS, AIESEC is a platform for youth to develop and nurture their skills with like-minded people and mentors. Affiliated with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, AIESEC aims to empower youth to become the leaders of tomorrow, facilitated by the numerous leadership programs we offer.

One of our current programs is AIESEC Experience, a semester-long program that includes events ranging from career orientated business forums and networking nights to help student’s future job prospects, to personal development workshops where we seek to assist students in developing themselves personally and professionally through value driven activities and spaces.

Also running this semester is our Heading to the Future program, a 2 week immersive workshop where students participate in soft skill and hard skills workshops facilitated by AIESEC as well as a professional industry partner. Previous partners have included Fulton Hogan, HASLIN and West Region Delivery Team in which you may score an internship following the completion of the program.

Joining AIESEC is a chance to grow as a young leader while building real-world skills in a dynamic, team-driven environment. Each portfolio offers unique opportunities:

• MaC (Marketing and Communications): Build skills in content creation, branding, social media strategy, and digital marketing.
• ER (External Relations): Develop confidence in pitching, negotiation, and professional relationship management through sponsor and partner outreach.
• OGV (Outgoing Global Volunteer): Gain experience in customer service, intercultural communication, and project coordination by guiding youth through global volunteering.
• BD (Business Development): Strengthen outreach, public speaking, and stakeholder engagement by connecting AIESEC with student and community groups.
• PM (Physical Marketing): Enhance event management, campaign execution, and on-ground engagement skills through in-person promotional activities.

No matter your portfolio, AIESEC offers a supportive space to grow, challenge yourself, and make a meaningful impact.

We have our end of semester event, our career based Heading for the Future program, which brings in a keen industry partner who is looking to reach out to prospective students for more University interaction as well as employment and internship opportunities.

Take the time to attend our Careers Fair to network with prospective employers in your industry and learn more about our Global Volunteer program, held throughout the semester.

In both AIESEC Experience and Heading for the Future, you will be placed into teams to get to know your fellow members. Within your teams, there are weekly catch ups and workspaces to hangout both for study and fun. Our AIESEC society also holds weekly social spaces, club meetings, and events where you can meet even more of the AIESEC community
