The Global Internship Programme (GIP) is an opportunity for young people to gain professional experience through internships at host organizations. Through GIP, interns contribute to organizational goals, complete job responsibilities under supervision, and further their professional development. Both interns and host organizations benefit from increased cross-cultural understanding and talent. GIP placements last between 6-78 weeks and provide leadership, cross-cultural, and career skills to participants.

A Global Internship Programme (GIP) experience is an opportunity for a young person to develop entrepreneurial and responsible leadership by
living a cross-cultural professional development experience.
How do we run this programme?
We provide an internship in a host organisation, through which a young
person contributes to the goals of the organisation, completes a job
description requiring special expertise or skills, and receives supervision and
evaluation on his or her professional development.
What can a young person gain through this programme?
With this programme, a young person gains access to AIESEC’s value-
based platform, and he or she experiences:
▪A professional development experience
▪A cross-cultural living and working experience
GIP participants can have different types of internship experiences as
long as their role and supervision clearly contribute to their professional
development.
What can an organisation gain through this programme?
GIP hosts are organisations that support AIESEC’s values and want to
enhance their organisation through involving global top talent, improving their
processes or growing their organisational goals. With them, we co-create
opportunities for young people to work, learn and contribute to the
organisation’s goals.
How will this be measured on the system?
A GIP internship is counted as soon as an EP is realized to a GIP internship, which should be on their first day at work. An individual is counted as a GIP
participant as soon as his or her GIP form has been raised.
Duration of a GIP experience: 6-78 weeks
