Involving Outside For Right Reasons

This month the national strategy which aims to support the Local Committees about their achievement of greater number of partners is launched. It also includes a new National Segmentation System to identify the best companies to partner with and also a new tracking system to provide a high quality service to our partners. "Involving the outside for the right reasons" is our target for this year.

The regional partnership with The McGraw-Hill Companies have accomplished the first year with the America's Region. The company stated their pleasure about the partnership with these words:

"AIESEC traineeship program has helped us accelerate our culture change strategy, and after a year is now bringing consistent and lasting results from talented individuals from various countries. They have demonstrated leadership, accountability, drive for results, but mainly a sense of "we can do it, through active participation""

National Web Page Re-Creation

The English version has been re-created, however the Spanish version is going to be online by 20th of October.

Learning and Continuity

Considering the high number of extraordinary elections for Human Capital Directors, we have put a special focus on creating knowledge and achieving a greater continuity in the area. Besides increasing the  contact with local committees Human Capital Coordinators, the Activities Libraries for all areas and all stages of engagement in AIESEC have received a complete polish up. The Activities Library is a tool that states the competencies a member should have at the beginning and at the end of the position as well as obligatory and optional activities to foster their development including self-driven learning material, trainings and conferences.

Another really useful tool is the new Transition Guide which will support all new Human Capital Directors to get started by asking the right questions to their predecessor and motivate the outgoing director to provide a high-quality transition. This material is a short but practical guide is supposed to anticipate questions that usually occur later into the work when transition is over and that gives the elected person a clue of what he should know. Besides this, the guide stresses the importance of giving and receiving transition since the topic is usually not taken sufficiently into account.

Join the Mentoring & Coaching Program

Do remember when you were an active member and how the slightest interaction with older members or Alumni or externals would inspire you? Did you feel like you learned a lot personally and professionally from these people? AIESEC Mexico wants to create more of these experiences for our current members through our Mentorship & Coaching Program and we are looking for Alumni and professionals from all fields that would like to participate.

What does it mean to be a Mentor?
A Mentor would help a university student on their path to achieving their personal goals by asking questions and guiding him/her in the process of identifying opportunities and challenges. It is one of the most powerful ways to create an impact.

What does it mean to be a Coach?
Every Local Committee in AIESEC Mexico is working with at least one project and the role of the Coach is to guide and give advice so that the member can achieve his/her goals for the project and grow professionally
