The participating regions are in charge of the day-to-day management of the programme in their region, i.e. the practical aspects to organise the hosting and sending of trainees under the programme. This includes selecting the companies / organisations who wish to host Eurodyssey trainees, reviewing the applications from young people, organising the accommodation, the remuneration, the language course, the social and cultural activities, etc.

Any legally registered organisation (company, association, public administration) in a participating region can submit an application to host Eurodyssey trainees. Once their application is reviewed and approved by their region, they can submit traineeship offers.
