Intern Service - AIESEC FTU HCMC
1. Dear beloved interns,
Thank you for choosing Vietnam as your destination and AIESEC FTU HCM as a second
home during your internship here.
Promoting exchange and mutual understanding among nations is always the utmost
mission of AIESEC, and interns are cultural ambassadors who not only bring the unique
colors of their homeland to the host country but also contribute significantly to its
economic, societal development and cultural diversity.
Therefore, it is honorable responsibility for us to guarantee you a comfortable physical
and enthusiastic spiritual life during your stay in Vietnam. Your satisfaction and
happiness are what we- Intern supporting team members, are striving for.
We proudly present you with INTERN INTEGRATION PACKAGE which features all
essential and basic information about activities that interns may wish to take part in to
enhance their culture mission as well as to better integrate themselves into Vietnamese
life.
2. AIESEC Zone
AIESEC Zone is our animated and lively internal forum which plays as an effective means of
communication among members.
In AIESEC Zone you may see a lot of boxes with different headlines which focus on different
topics about our Local chapter. Among them stands out INTERN CORNER listing out all
activities related to interns including Intern sharing, Vietnam discovery and Intern activity (Please
log in the website for more information about each category). Especially, Vietnam discovery is
seemingly a colorful dictionary which casts an overall picture into every interesting
entertainment, touristic as well as eating places around Ho Chi Minh city that interns should not
miss out!
Interns should visit the forum regularly to understand more about what our Local chapter is
doing, sharing feelings and exploring HCM city vicariously through our vivid posts and well-
selected recommendations.
3. Vietnamese Classes
Rất vui được

Interns Supporting Team organizes weekly
Mình là thành
viên AIESEC! Vietnamese learning classes with the participation of LC
members as teachers and interns as students. We aim to
Help interns learn some basic
Vietnamese conversations as well as to create the
chance for LC members and interns to get closer.
Besides, this activity will help enhance communication
skills for members and interns.
World cooking class promises to be an extremely fantastic
activity where everyone, both interns and Vietnamese
friends, boast about their unique culture through its cuisine
specials . Interns and AIESEC members
will gather and instruct each other to
cook their countries' traditional dishes,
which grant them the chance to not
only learn more about the food culture
of different countries but also get closer
to each other by cooperating to create the best dishes and then enjoying the products
together.
4. Cultural Exchange Events
To create chance for both interns and LC members to have a relaxing time as well as to
boost creativity, activeness and cooperation, Interns Supporting Team is going to hold
such events as :
Cutural competitions

These events give all of us knowledge about different countries in the world. They will
be organized at flexible times.
