Lovely Professional University has arranged an extensive global entrepreneurs Programme in joined hands with AIESEC-a Non Profit International Organization for its students to provide them a unique combination of multi-cultural entrepreneurial, social and leadership experience. Under this program, students from LPU including youth from Jalandhar would go and work abroad on a host of social issues ranging from Entrepreneurship, business models on sustainability, development studies, human rights for ethnic groups, Cultural Education, Youth , Education, Environment, HIV/AIDS etc. The internship duration would be a minimum of six weeks.
AIESEC is an international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential to have a positive impact on society and operates through an issue-based internship exchange program that is entirely run by students and recent graduates. Presently, it is working for 1700 universities in more than 107 countries and territories. It has already been collaborating formally with Lovely Professional University since January 2009.
Last year, during their summer vacation , 17 students of LPU had been to 5 countries. 11 of them went to Ukraine; 2 each to Taiwan and Poland, and one each to Russia and Indonesia .
Elated Yogyata Bansal, a student ,who had been to Indonesia says cheerfully :“I came across AIESEC through a seminar in my university and found an interesting internship in Indonesia. The representatives were really helpful and even came to receive me at the airport. My traineeship was a developmental one . I worked in an NGO with students from different countries. I gained a higher level of confidence with this experience and have become more independent. I am really thankful to the planners of this initiative to provide me this wonderful opportunity”,
The Executive Dean of LPU , Mrs. Rashmi Mittal said : “ Students must always keep their eyes and minds open to pulse themselves where the opportunities are dwelling for them so that they may get well set in due course of time grabbing the chances as come to them in one or the other form. This venture is really going to equip the youth with qualities such as leadership, entrepreneurship, team work, management, finances, communication skills, event management, client servicing and most importantly the vision to make a positive impact on society. All in all, it is a golden opportunity for the youth to develop themselves and be one step ahead of their peers.”
