Confederation of Indian Industry and AIESEC

TRAINEESHIP CASE STUDY

AIESEC has been providing 5 management trainees every year for the last three years to The Confederation of Indian Industry.

The trainees are placed in International Fairs Division of CII.

CII organise fairs like AUTO EXPO '98, ITEF '99 and PETROTECH and they feel that international students from specific partner countries would assist in CII's interface with exhibitors and visitors.

The job role involves.

· Servicing various customers - exhibitors, visitors, contractors, CII personnel venue authorities etc.

· Preparation of proposals, flyers and circulars as well as follow-up letters to clients

· Acting as Hall managers during the exhibition

· Acting as interpreters with top CII and Partner members

Another objective for the trainee is to foster cross- cultural interactions in CII and providing a new perspective and a fresh look at the way normal and routine work is handled.

Ken Nakajima (Japan) and Kim B Byoungrak (Korea) are two such trainees, who have successfully completed this well-defined and short-term assignment.

"Both Ken and Kim contributed towards the successful conduct of Petrotech '99 and IETF '99 exhibitions. His innovative evaluation criteria for exhibitors was used for a correct measure of the level and quality of our services"
