This document provides a summary of initiatives by AIESEC in Delhi IIT to improve their exchange program (EP) engagement and conversion rates. Key initiatives include:
1. Forming a special team solely focused on EP engagement, headed by two team leaders and senior project coordinators.
2. Allowing parallel raising and matching efforts with separate teams for each to satisfy EPs and assure them of early project placement.
3. Integrating EPs into local committee events to increase engagement with AIESEC.
4. Improving processes like expectation setting, grievance management, and teaching EPs about AIESEC to provide better support.
2. Ideology
This time we as an LC are trying to lay
special focus on delivery and enhancing
EP experience, a policy of growth through
increase in conversion rate has been
adopted, after seeing a summer of an
extremely weak conversion rate.

5. A special team solely responsible for EP
Engagement.
Team of 6 people, headed by 2 Team
Leaders and Senior Project Coordinators.
Team mutually exclusive to
raising/matching.
6. Parralel Raising-Matching
The OS allows us to raise and match parallel with distinct teams
responsible for both.
This can satisfy EPs and assure them a project very soon, thereby
them not making other plans.
Concept of projections being driven down.
