The survey of 252 former AIESEC members found that personal development was the most important benefit of their experience, followed by leadership development and international experience. However, some respondents reported that their local committees prioritized organizational goals over personal growth. Suggested improvements included providing clearer career guidance, more diverse tasks, leadership training, and external coaching. Overall, AIESEC was seen as offering valuable skills development, but its messaging could better emphasize the personal value for members.
