When do the traineeships start?
The starting date of a traineeship depends on the availability and the status of the traineeship/program.
Is the accommodation and/or food included in the traineeship?
The accommodation and/or food are mainly provided during the DT programs, because they are non-paid traineeships.
Note:
During not all DT programs the accommodation and food come together. Sometimes the program covers only the accommodation. All these points are discussed during the “matching” process.
Where do I stay during the traineeship?
If you are taking a DT, you might be staying either in a host family, hostel, apartment with other Exchange Participants.
Who takes care of the “matching” process?
Each exchange participant (EP) is assigned to an EP manager, who is responsible for finding the desired program and promoting the EP and after that you’ll get the EP Buddy who will assist you during your preparation.
Might that happen that the company (NGO, university,and others) rejects the exchange participant (EP)?
This is totally possible. Usually an acceptance note (AN) is sent to the other side, and the company has 8 days either to accept or reject the EP.

AN is a signed paper, which shows the desire of the EP to participate in a give traineeship. The paper states the type of the traineeship, the dates and personal details of the EP.
Is there any penalty fee that I pay if I don’t go to the traineeship I was matched for?
If your form was matched with a company, and you reject going, there might be a penalty fee for you to pay. Because the company makes expenses for your arrival, and rejecting a traineeship when all is ready will cause a lot of troubles with the company. Therefore there might be some “paying” to be done.
