Reception
Reception refers to the preparation for the trainees’ arrival and the integration of the trainees during their traineeships.
Reception is conducted by the Hosting Group, i.e. the ELSA Group in charge of the communication with the TNP.
Reception starts the moment an applicant is selected by a TNP and notified thereof by EI, and it continues until the end of the traineeship.
Reception can be divided into (1) Trainee Preparation and (2) Trainee Integration.
The STEP Officer of the Hosting Group is the main responsible person for Reception, acting as the contact person between the trainees, the Hosting Group, and the TNP.
The STEP Officer of the Hosting Group should refer to the Reception Quality Standards in order to prepare their Reception Strategy and be aware of their responsibilities.
Please refer to the Reception Section of the STEP Handbook for advice regarding the different aspects of Reception.
Furthermore, for any questions or requests for advice, please contact your National and/or the Director for STEP Coaching of ELSA International.
