HOSTING and TRACKING
To make CEED effective as for you so for the CEEDer hosting & tracking process are essential ones.

Evaluation and tracking: you should be meeting with CEEDer on regular basis and check the progress in goals realization. Meeting once a week, at the beginning, to check the work of last week and set priorities for the one makes you sure that process goes smoothly. The same time you need to track realization of CEEDers goals and support in their realization.

Reception (LC involvement, cultural): in terms of reception CEEDer should be treated as interns and be actively involved in it. Thanks to it he/she can create a better network of contacts. Moreover CEEDer can be organizer of the reception. CEEDer shouldn’t be closed only to JD. You should give the opportunity to interact with LC, to experience different LC reality.

Knowledge sharing: organize “AIESEC sharing” meetings. Let CEEDers, member, interns, returnees, exCEEDers discuss different AIESEC topics and share the knowledge and advise each other on the topics.

At the end of CEED ask CEEDer to make a presentation summing up whole his/her CEED.
