Abstract

The report entitled “A Journey of Personal and Professional Development in AIESEC Nepal” focuses on the various challenges I faced and the opportunities I received in an environment where a culture built over 76 years still exists and evolves to stay relevant to the youth today. This cooperative education report contains the working experience of different tasks as the national business development head. The study’s objectives include (1) to implement theoretical knowledge learned. (2) To have a better understanding of the INGO industry. (3) To better understand revenue management in an INGO sector. (4) To gain technical knowledge about the business development department. Working as a national head, the main duty performed was to oversee the national board of advisors, partnerships, and events done locally and nationally. All the duties and responsibilities assigned during cooperative education are explained in detail in this study. Problems faced were mostly communication barriers which I overcame with time. Other technical and work-related problems were solved with alternatives from the company’s team members. Working rigorously for the organization has taught me to adapt to tough situations, work individually and overcome cultural obstacles. This practical cooperative education program also helped me understand business development’s technical aspects and create different marketing strategies. Since this is my area of interest, I rigorously researched different working mechanisms organizations adapt in different parts of the world.
