AIESEC in Taylor’s University was established in 2004 as one Local Committee of AIESEC in Malaysia. AIESEC Taylor’s University has been creating positive impact in society for the past 10 years. Projects related to Environment, HIV/AIDS, human

trafficking and others are milestones that we have achieved in creating a better tomorrow for our world.

How ASEAN B.E.S.T. Works

We organise 3-days leadership seminars and leadership workshops for high school students to unleash their potential through a series of soft skills development activities.

The Aim Of The Project

The project aims to transform youth mind-sets while enhancing Malaysia’s education system. Malaysia’s youth only focus on academic results without emphasizing personal development. From employers’ point of view, youth today do not possess good communication and required working skills. Command of English needs to be enhanced. We hope that dynamic characters can be shaped through this powerful project and hence, grooming tomorrow’s visionary leaders who are not only academically qualified but also competent and ready to accept challenges.
