We are very proud to announce that our local office, AIESEC Ky, was awarded with even two prizes on this year’s SUCCESS conference.

The first award was given for our achievements in recruiting more participants for the work abroad program than any other local office within Finland. This year we selected 9 people for the program, who have now the opportunity to spend  some months in a high quality internship in a variety of companies, including Siemens, Electrolux, Kraft Foods, DHL, GE Money, Accenture as well as smaller companies and organisations.

The second award was achieved through our constant and close cooperation with the local office of HANKEN. This cooperation is, so far, unique among the Finnish AIESEC offices, and shall serve as an example to achieve even greater success when working together.

The award ceremony was held on this year’s national conference SUCCESS. The conference was arranged under the topic significance and success in which awarding and recognizing the achievements of the last 10 months plays a crucial role. Furthermore, the new members and leaders for the upcoming term received development and training sessions to integrate and prepare them for the future role within AIESEC. This training and development was, for instance, arranged by AIESEC’s partner companies Mercuri and Accenture, which offered trainings in team management and sales training.

However, these two prizes would have been never possible without the active support of all AIESEC members in Ky. Therefore, thanks a lot to everyone who made these achievements possible. Lets celebrate the past success and future achievements in our upcoming General Assembly…
