During the year I was at AIESEC, I had various work descriptions. Firstly and most importantly, creating and leading a team was one of the most important ones as that team had to work together and carry out the following tasks: 1. Create a Marketing Strategy which would promote AIESEC Newcastle on all universities around North East 2. Create lectures, information sessions to raise awareness of what AIESEC is and the opportunities it can offer to both students and graduates. 3. Form agreements with local companies which would support and promote as well as fund AIESEC Newcastle as well as sponsors.
