At the seminar I.A.E.A. members will tell you about local laws and customs, farm practices, I.A.E.A. activities, etc. I really enjoyed the seminar. It was a good introduction to the programme. It was also good to meet everyone else. And we learned heaps.
All trainees have a supervisor.
The supervisor will visit you and your host family at least once during your stay. Supervisors are past trainees and it is their job to make sure both trainees and host families are happy with the placement. If you have a problem or need advice you can always contact your supervisor to get help. We shared hard work, good times and bad times together. There have been no arguments as such between groups and everybody got along well.
