The final step in the first phase is the selection of candidates and definition of the lengths ofdifferent work placements.The next stage involves: arranging trilateral or quadrilateral work placement agreements between the sending andthe host department, and/or organisation, and the students (beneficiaries). The agreement defines the rights andobligations of the parties; it specifies the kind and duration of the work experience and describes the tasks to beaccomplished by the students (observational tasks, participation in activities, working tasks under supervision,evaluation, follow-up and supervision by the host department, diaries, written reports). The agreement alsodescribes the content of the certificate and of the report on the accomplishment of the work tasks as well as therecognition of the training in the curriculum.Monitoring and evaluation of work placements will be assured by the supervision of the host department and throughmonitoring visits of TS of the sending department (especially at the beginning of the cooperation) and also throughwritten reports of students (diaries, questionnaires with organisational, professional and social aspects) as well asreports of the host organisation.Academic recognition of the work placement is assured if the written report/certification of the host organisation, thewritten report of the student and the results of monitoring certify that the conditions of the work placement agreementhave been fulfilled.
