TCS Partnership
The partnership with Tata Consultancy Services is up and running and May is the month to make this happen! TCS themselves will travel through Sweden and visit Linköping, Jönköping and Umeå to do promotion together with you guys. But remember that even if TCS is not coming to your LC you still have great opportunities to do online promotion to reach out to potential candidates.
TCS offers 8 - 12 students the chance of a lifetime to work with one of the biggest global brands. The intern will spend the first month in in the center for noridc customers for training and after this move to one of the big cities in India where they will work in a delivery center.
Don't let your IT students miss this amazing opportunity!
IMPACT
We hope that all of you had an unforgettable experience and have landed safely back in your LCs. There is one more month to make all those amazing ideas happen and make the last push to close the term knowing that you made an impact.
To refresh your memory you can find all the materials and outputs from IMPACT 2015 as well as the other conferences below.
First of all I would like to thank all the amazing delegates who were at IMPACT 2015. Thank you all for smiling, being happy throughout the conference, and making the OC-experience a blast. Organizing a conference is a lot of hard work and a few sleepless nights, however when you see all the delegates arrive and enjoying the conference it is a reward unlike many. Much like a roller-coaster it has a few ups and downs. When you one evening look at the 157th prospective venue and realize that it can only accommodate 60 people, or when you get an e-mail from your BoA confirming sponsorships for the conference #westillhavecakesleft. I personally remember the day the subscription was opened. Was anyone going to sign-up? I updated Podio on my phone almost every 5 minutes for the entire weekend. We closed the same round of subscriptions with 86 people signed up! Amazing!
Being the OCP, and in the OC in general is extremely rewarding yet intense. It shows you how much you are capable of doing and afterwards it is a concrete accomplishment. However, sometimes the roller-coaster comes to a halt as you negotiate between different stakeholders and do expectation setting. Perhaps the journey truly is the destination?
Organizing IMPACT 2015 was an incredible experience and had been impossible without a number of people. I would like to extend a big thank you to my EB and BoA for all the mental support, feedback and functional help. To the FACIs for delivering their sessions, inspiring all the delegates and giving them the tools to make #gen2015 happen. Finally to the entire OC-team; Susanna, Lilian, Ray, Yi, Andrea and Panu. You guys are amazing and deserve all the credit for all your efforts and hard-work.
When the roller-coaster comes to an end you realize how alive and present the entire experience made you feel. You were in the moment and now you are thrilled to go on the next ride. I wish I liked roller-coasters as much as I enjoyed being your OCP. Thank you!
Gratefully and AIESECly yours,
Christian Widell OCP, IMPACT 2015
