ABOUT US

AIESEC is a global youth-led organisation that aims to empower youths to create positive change. We're passionate about leadership development and cross-cultural understanding. Through experiential learning, we hope to develop responsible leaders to address global challenges.

KEY EVENTS

  1. YouthSpeak Forum (YSF)
    Led by AIESEC, YSF provides youths with a platform to equip themselves and generate actionable ideas that will impact the world. The event brings together top young leaders, business leaders, thought leaders and experts from all around the world for a conversation surrounding youth's global contribution.

    YSF 2023 had a focus on Gen Z employability, and aimed to prepare youths for tomorrow, today. We welcomed speakers from Google, Ubisoft, our distinguished Guest of Honour, Dr Jamus Lim, and more than a 100 delegates from over 10 different countries.

  2. National Leadership Development Conference (NLDC)
    NLDC is an annual national conference organised by AIESEC in Singapore. Delegates and facilitators come not only from AIESEC in the local universities (NUS, NTU, SIM, SMU), but also from other countries (e.g. Hong Kong, Japan, Canada). The conference focuses on developing leadership skills and critical thinking among AIESEC youths, through a series of dialogues and exchange sessions.

  3. Annual Case Competition
    A key initiative by AIESEC in SMU, it is an annual affair for us to organise a 4-week case competition that serves as a platform for students to present innovative ideas on real world issues. The case competition is open to students from all local universities.

    Last year we organised ESG Titans, where we had more than 20 teams present challenges that a company of their choice might face in implementing ESG solutions. Participants had the opportunity to further their knowledge of ESG while engaging with industry professionals from various companies such as Accenture, Microsoft, KPMG and PwC through a panel discussion and networking session.

  4. SWITCH Conference (SWITCH)
    Organised annually by AIESEC in Singapore, SWITCH aims to build our members' capacities, and to promote bonding within AIESEC in Singapore. Delegates consist of AIESEC members from our 4 local committees, namely NTU, NUS, SIM and SMU. Through a variety of discussion spaces and sharing sessions, members learn more about themselves and their potential to make positive change in society.

"By joining AIESEC, I hope that I will be able to gain new skills, both hard skills and soft skills. I believe AIESEC will train their members to acquire new skills that are extremely valuable in today's world, no matter which department we are posted to. Meanwhile, I also hope that I will be able to expand my network by meeting fellow youths who share the same interest."

"I always love to help and listen to different people's point of view in things and knowing that AIESEC provides lots of opportunities to work with different people not just in Singapore but around the world, is a very big opportunity for me to broaden my knowledge on different things. Also, I get to hone both my hard and soft skills the same time while working with them is an amazing opportunity that I do not want to miss."
