International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience Trainee of the Year Awards 2005 The 58 years of the IAESTE programme Institute of Technology walked away with have seen many thousands of students the top prize, after her presentation on her travel to gain work and cultural experience time with Bernard Ingenieure in Austria. abroad. The fact that IAESTE has gone from Orla’s genuine enthusiasm and appreciation strength to strength and grown in size from of the IAESTE Programme shone through its original 10 countries to more than 80 is during her presentation. IAESTE ANNUAL REVIEW 2006 evidence of the relevance and success of the programme. However, the adventures, the cultural insights, the friends made and the great times experienced by the IAESTE trainees are often untold. The IAESTE Trainee of the Year Award is an event which gives trainees an opportunity to tell the story of their experiences whilst also showcasing the programme’s benefits to employers, sponsors, parents, participating bodies and other students. In recent years the Trainee of the Year award has been successfully held in the Republic of Ireland, Switzerland and the UK amongst others. While each country brings its own particular twist to the event the basic format remains similar. Recent trainees give a short presentation, replete with photos and anecdotes, on their host country, their traineeship and their overall experience. The enthusiasm and regard of students for IAESTE is evident in each different presentation and is an invaluable source of motivation for employers, students and also IAESTE itself. On 22 November 2005, the fourth IAESTE Ireland Trainee of the Year event was held in University College Dublin. Nine students gave presentations on their experiences of China, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, the USA, the UK and Germany. Orla McKeever, a Civil Engineering student from Dundalk The University of Applied Science Winterthur was the venue for IAESTE Switzerland’s Trainee of the Year event on 23 November 2005. From the 10 participating trainees, Stefan Trenkle emerged triumphant after his presentation on his IAESTE experiences in Iran. Over 60 people attended the event which also had presentations from students who had been in the UK and Egypt amongst other countries. IAESTE in Northern Ireland also showcased their students’ experiences with a Trainee of the Year event. Held in Queen’s University on 31 October 2005, the winning presentation was given by Kevin Quinn on his traineeship in Norway. As an added bonus, Kevin also qualifi ed to take part in the overall UK Trainee of the Year event and went on to take third place in that event. The winner of the eighth UK Trainee of the Year event, which was held at the British Council in London, was Ingrid Orme, an architecture student from Edinburgh College of Art. Ingrid did her IAESTE traineeship in an architecture firm in Brazil. Ingrid’s traineeship has inspired her to follow a career in architecture and humanitarian relief and plans, this year, to do an internship in the UN’s Human Settlement division. These trainees’ presentations, short though they are, bring the IAESTE Programme to life. Enthusiasm, motivation, confidence and inspiration are all evident benefi ts that both students and employers can gain from participation in the programme and which are visible at each Trainee of the Year Award. While the award events rely on the participation of the trainees, also essential to the proceedings are the judges, sponsors and hosts, who are too numerous to mention in this short space. Without their gracious and invaluable assistance, the Trainee of the Year events would not be the success that they have become. Neil Maher National Secretary IAESTE Ireland 24
