The Trainee Nomination Process

 

The Goals of the session are

 

•    To describe how the TN process is being implemented in AIESEC DELHI IIT

•    To highlight the best practices

•    To identify sections of it where we lack competency or/and have ignored

•    To find solutions and decide next steps

•    To see where all the TN process can falter

 

The incoming cycle has the following stages

 

•    Marketing

•    Procedures

•    Preparation

•    Reception and Integration

•    Re-integration and Servicing

 

Marketing

 

•    No of companies hit out to last year by the TN department was 19

•    Total raisings = 18-4 = 14

•    No of re-raisings were 8

•    Therefore new additions were 6 from 4 companies

 

•    And this when you had the TN department and the Marketing departments doing marketing


 

Next Steps

•   Research on companies

•   Research on available interns

•   Networking

•   Marketing techniques

 

 

 

 

 

 

A)      Division of departments

 

•    Three departments each with a primary objective in mind

 

   For the TN department, raising 25 and realizing 30 forms (including the rest of LC raising) is the primary objective

 

B)      Research on companies

 

•    Sectored division between departments. This would lead to greater research per sector and then, as a result, the relevant departments can approach the company

•    Use of CII library to obtain annual reports, project info etc.

•    use of the World Wide Web

•    In case any of you come across any relevant info about some companies that AIESEC is targeting, then please let the AM know

 

C)      Research on AIESEC SN’s

 

•    Traineeship Profiler

•    XMI

•    Case Studies

•    Exchange Lists (int-exchange, int-voice, int-tdp, in-tn etc)

 

•    In case the company wants a specific form, please consult your VPTN.

 

The following TN's should be raised

 

•    Marketing

•    Engineering

•    Finance

•    Accounting

•    Researchers

•    Economics

•    Project Managers

 

Networking

 

•    The concept of networking, though known, was never nearly utilized to its fullest.

•    CII

•    ACMA

•    TOI

•    French Embassy

•    NFI

•    and a host of others

 

Over selling

 

•    Please do not over sell The International Traineeship Exchange Programme

•    Do not promise traineeships in backgrounds that we do not have or in too short a period

•    With enough research on the available SN’s, their academic backgrounds, countries etc., this is one aspect of marketing that has to be done away with.

 

Multiple Traineeships

 

How does AIESEC benefit?

 

•    Greater number of exchanges

•    Greater impact on our members

•    Less effort required in raising and we can concentrate on reception and integration

•    Better quality of job-roles

•    Easy to coordinate reception once systems in place

•    Ensures re-raising

 

How a company benefits?

 

•    Cost effective vise-a-vive head hunters when a company is looking at project based recruitment from overseas

•    Orientation and integration is easier for the company

•    Greater Productivity

 

Ways to achieve these Multiple Traineeships

 

•    Remove mind set that one trainee is enough.

•    Actively pursue 2+

•    Research for vacancies in other departments. If there is are openings in a company then there is no reason that AIESEC should not be the source of those needs

•    Use of marketing tools like case studies.

Facts

 

•    Delhi IIT’s reception is poor compared to the high standards its members set for themselves

•    Only a handful of members are actually involved in Reception
