Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0 (A), University of Applied Sciences Bremen (Economics), course: Personal Finance, language: English, abstract: When we talk about Human Resources, we mostly think about Human Resources in Companies, about recruitment, assessment centres, work law, firing, salaries, etc. However, there is a sector where Human Resources are just as important as in companies, but where the above mentioned characteristics are less relevant; and the focus is more put on development, motivation and training. This sector is NGOs, especially the ones with voluntary workers. AEGEE (Association des Etats Généruax des Etudiants de l'Europe), a European students association is such an NGO. Over the years of existence of AEGEE-Europe, many people have come and have gone. People came and organized great events. People went to have successful careers. People came to enjoy the integration with other students. People went and had learnt a lot AEGEE as a students association is a good place to learn, experiment and to enjoy. To facilitate the students who are members of AEGEE in this process, a lot of time and effort is spent on the development of people, the human resources for AEGEE. To be able to organize the great events that have been organized and that will be organized in the future, AEGEE needs a well developed pool of human resources, able to take up big challenges, to work for AEGEE and to enjoy, to be professional in a student's organization.
