Professional Development

Global Talent programme is not an
opportunity whose sole purpose is
earning money or travelling.

WHY
Programme Benefits
Cross-cultural Experiences
Students who join the programme will
have the chance to live abroad, therefore
be able to learn and understand deeply
about culture, history, architecture,
cuisine, language, economy and the
people in the host country.
They will also be able to widen their
network which is uselful for work, study or
travel abroad.
In Viet Nam, the phenomenon of
globalization has both brought out
opportunities and posed the country
numerous challenges for the past few years.
One of the highlighted challenges is that the
current workforce for management level do
not usually possess a global mindset due to
the lack of international working experience.
Young Vietnamese people who join Global
Talent programme will gain practical
working experience in an international
environment, which will be a strategic move
on their career journey. Because these
experiences will work to their advantages
when they apply to multinational companies
or executive positions.

FIELD

Marketing Global Talent
Think global act local
Think global, act local is a well-used slogan, and it sums
up the nature of engaging in global marketing. Culture
clash, global blunders and technological barriers are the
most challenging things that any marketer will encounter
when they work abroad.
Global Talent programme in the field of Marketing,
therefore, offers young people the chance to challenge
their limits when they have to familiarise themselves with
languages, culture, tradition, economic conditions, social
issues, symbolism of the country as even colors can
make a difference. In the U.S., white is a color for purity; in
Japan, it represents death. Red connotes danger in the
U.S., but it symbolizes luck in China.

I start to build my future
career with the very first
stones from Global Talent
programme
In the first week, I only stayed at International Affairs office
and had some short talks with one or two people. They
helped me to understand the company and shared with
me many things about living and travelling in Nagoya.
From the second week, I went out with people in Sales
department. The job of staff in Sales department is to meet
customers and negotiate about the chemical products of
Tsuchiya. Their main customer is Toyota and thats the great
reason why I had a wonderful internship. I had the chance
to visit so many museums as well as so many plants of
Toyota. Thanks to this internship, I gazed with my own eyes
the incredible manufacturing process of Toyota, with lots of
automatic robots. Besides, I also viewed many newest
model cars of this famous group and even sat on a modern
model, which is going to be used in the future. Thats about
Toyota and of course, Tsuchiya didnt connect me to only
Toyota. The customers of Tsuchiya are other big groups such
as Denso, Nissan, Brother, Canon etc. The more customers
Tsuchiya have, the more museums, companies, factories
you can visit.
When I was small, I had a dream to visit Japan and thanks
to this internship, my dream already came true. Japanese
are truly hospitable and amiable, to the point my eyes
often went teary receiving their kindness.

Throughout the program, you will meet and connect with AIESECers from around the world, participate in local
AIESEC conferences if they are available, and develop yourself through challenges you face during your
