Educational Wednesdays for
AIESEC provided by PwC
About
Date: 8 February 2012 – 18 April 2012
Target Audience: University students who are members of AIESEC
Description: Educational Wednesdays is an educational program for AIESEC members and it is
delivered on a weekly basis. In total, 10 sessions are delivered to the students by PwC HC Specialists
(Recruitment and L&D).
Our Vision
The aim of the program is to enhance the skills of learners to be able to perform their tasks in AIESEC
more effectively as well as to be more self-confident and more successful in managing their work and
private relationships, and to be able to plan, communicate and perform more effectively. Furthermore,
the program aims to inspire and mobilize the students to think about their vision in life and the ways
to achieve it in successful and self-worthy way.
The topics of respective sessions were consulted with AIESEC local leaders to reflect the needs of
AIESEC organization. The group of participants who attend the sessions is relatively consistent;
around 90 % of participants are scheduled to attend each session. Smaller number will attend selected
sessions. Those participants who attend each session will be awarded with the PwC Certificate of
Completion at the Closing Ceremony.
It was mutually agreed that no more than 20 participants will attend each session.
Duration of each session is 2 hours; they are delivered each Wednesday from 18:00 to 20:00 in the
premises of PwC.
Each participant is given a file with printed presentations and handouts.

Interviewing Skills
Assessment Centres & Observing Skills

2. Interim Feedback:
The program is very well perceived by the students. As per formal feedback collected after each
session, the rating was above 9 on the scale 1 – 10. Also, informal feedback is very positive; students
consider the time spent at the sessions as very effective and meaningful.
The sessions are interactive; students are very keen on taking part in discussions and they actively
participate in case studies and scenarios. The lectors try to adjust the content of sessions so it reflects
the experience and expectations of the learners.

“PwC and AIESEC are partners for several seasons. Under continuation of our
successful cooperation we are now a general partner of AIESEC Bratislava.
In many ways we are tuned to the same wavelength, AIESEC and internationalisation
of our company gives a good basis for successful communication between us, not only
in Slovakia but also in Europe.
AIESEC gives students space to develop their leadership skills, improve soft skills,
teaches them to build a social network which will be later used in their future and
business environment. PwC supports AIESEC in turning the best ideas into reality by
involving our professionals and their know-how in the development of AIESEC
members.”
