What you will benefit from as an IAESTE employer

Some of the benefits of working with us:

Tailor made and expert

  • IAESTE is an employer-led programme, meaning students are selected according to your requirements, which can stipulate criteria such as: subject area; specialisation; level of study; technical experience, nationality and duration.
  • IAESTE trainees are ideally placed to carry out short-term projects and to help develop new business opportunities overseas.

Skilled and high-calibre

  • Students are hand-picked (carefully selected) through a stringent, 3-tier selection process from a pool of over 1000 universities worldwide
  • Hard working, high calibre and highly motivated trainees, with appropriate technical knowledge and experience,
  • Trainees with excellent communication skills (English is mandatory for the participation in the exchange programme)
  • Previous IAESTE trainees have worked on award winning projects, been credited in published academic research and been offered employment upon completion of their placement both overseas and in their home countries

International

  • IAESTE students bring an international dimension to the workplace as well as fresh ideas and different, often innovative perspectives.
  • If your company is looking to expand into new international markets, IAESTE is a great way to build contacts and cultural links, as well as ambassadors for your company.

Admin-free

  • IAESTE in your country will provide expertise (and the global IAESTE network, support) in navigating necessary visa/work authorisation, facilitating accommodation and organising social and cultural activities for the trainees. In many cases IAESTE in your country will be able entirely facilitate these on your behalf, leaving you hassle-free to get the most out of the placement.

Reciprocal

  • IAESTE is a reciprocal programme, so your offer of a placement for a foreign student guarantees a placement overseas for a local undergraduate student, directly building the local skill base.
  • All students gain great experience to put on their CVs and return with increased confidence and renewed enthusiasm for their field.
