In today’s fast-paced business world, innovation often comes from fresh perspectives and diverse ideas. Recognizing this, AIESEC, one of the world’s leading youth-run nonprofit organizations, has been connecting local companies with highly motivated international interns through its Incoming Global Talent (iGT) program.

For over 70 years, AIESEC has operated in more than 100 countries, providing young professionals with opportunities to grow personally and professionally. The iGT program brings that global pool of talent to Sri Lanka, offering companies skilled individuals in fields ranging from marketing and IT to engineering, business development, and teaching.

What makes the program particularly effective is the Business-to-Business (B2B) team, which manages the entire process. From identifying the right candidates and coordinating placements to handling visas and pre-arrival preparation, the B2B team ensures a seamless experience for both interns and host organizations. Continuous support during the internship guarantees that the exchange is productive, enriching, and hassle-free.

Companies hosting AIESEC interns gain more than temporary support. The interns bring new ideas, cross-cultural insights, and a global mindset that can inspire creativity and innovation within teams. Many organizations worldwide have noted the positive impact of hosting AIESEC interns, from enhanced team motivation to innovative approaches to problem-solving.

The iGT program offers a unique opportunity for local companies to integrate international talent effortlessly. With AIESEC managing logistics and support, organizations can focus on leveraging the interns’ skills while benefiting from a culturally dynamic work environment.

For companies seeking to expand their reach, gain fresh perspectives, and integrate global talent into their teams, AIESEC provides a structured, reliable, and impactful solution.
