When we talk about Human Resources, we mostly think about Human Resources in
Companies, about recruitment, assessment centres, work law, firing, salaries, etc.
However, there is a sector where Human Resources are just as important as in companies,
but where the above mentioned characteristics are less relevant; and the focus is more put
on development, motivation and training. This sector is NGOs, especially the ones with
voluntary workers.
AEGEE (Association des Etats Généruax des Etudiants de l’Europe), a European students
association is such an NGO. Over the years of existence of AEGEE-Europe, many people
have come and have gone. People came and organized great events. People went to have
successful careers. People came to enjoy the integration with other students. People went
and had learnt a lot
AEGEE as a students association is a good place to learn, experiment and to enjoy. To
facilitate the students who are members of AEGEE in this process, a lot of time and effort
is spent on the development of people, the human resources for AEGEE. To be able to
organize the great events that have been organized and that will be organized in the
future, AEGEE needs a well developed pool of human resources, able to take up big
challenges, to work for AEGEE and to enjoy, to be professional in a student’s
organization.
