AIESEC does this by assisting thousands of international internships to students and young people in different career disciplines such as engineering, marketing, and teaching among others.
Stating on Facebook, the local Glasgow and Edinburgh AIESEC committees say students eager to get an internship this summer, and improve their connections in the job market, should attend the session, stating: “Summer 2021 is rapidly approaching, and what better way to spend it than gaining professional experience at a top company?”
“If you’re ready to build your professional network, and acquire practical skills in a new cultural setting, you don’t want to miss our information session hosted by local committees in Edinburgh and Glasgow.”
