Local Partners

In AIESEC Monash we believe in cultivating long term relationship with our local partners to achieve shared goals. Our local partners provide us with the resources that enable our members to explore and develop their leadership skills, and to make a positive impact in society.

The AIESEC platform consists of a number of different opportunities through which an individual creates their own AIESEC Experience, including conferences, exchange, learning networks and intense leadership experiences. We thus focus on creating multi dimensional relationships by providing a unique leverage across the Corporate, Non-Corporate and the Student Sector.

AIESEC is the international platform for young people to explore and develop their potential so as to have a positive impact in society. To reach this aim, AIESEC provides over 5,000 leadership positions , organizes over 350 conferences , and runs an exchange program that offers 4,000 members the opportunity to live and work in a foreign country.

AIESEC Australia Alumni are located globally, working in various professions and industries and playing different roles in their communities.
AIESEC appreciates the fact that its alumni are the biggest measures of its success. AIESEC Australia alumni are changing the world today and AIESEC is honoured.

Our innovative approach to developing young people focuses on taking a proactive role, developing self-awareness and a personal vision, building networks, and developing capacity to drive change.

The AIESEC platform consists of a number of different opportunities through which an individual creates their own AIESEC experience. This same platform also serves to connect our partner organizations to the talented young people within AIESEC.

The AIESEC approach to enabling young people to discover and develop their potential is a full experience with several stages that is based on a few key principles.

This approach, which comes through the AIESEC Platform, helps to build young people that have the desire and capacity to have a positive impact in society
– that is the AIESEC Difference .

What began in 1948 as an organisation to help develop "friendly relations" between member countries is now a global association with activities in 89 different countries and territories.

The founding members of AIESEC started to build the organization between 1946 - 1948, but a clear identity was defined in 1948 and later in 1949 at the Stockholm Congress.

The AIESEC Way!
