To do so, please fill in and sign the Application Form APAGA 20-21 (click here to download it).

PERMITS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

It is compulsory to have the permission of the Director of the Centre, who will be asked for permission to participate PRIOR TO SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION (which will be consulted with him/her), guaranteeing that the corresponding teaching hours will be covered during the absence. Once selected and one month before the mobility, the Official Permission to be absent from work must be requested.

In order to cover the teaching timetable when you are absent, you must have the help of the department or colleagues from the department, so you must provide a written document signed by the parties involved stating this fact, signed by the interested party and either by the teachers who undertake to cover for you or by the teachers who will cover for you or by the teachers who will cover for you.

if it is covered by the department as a whole, it shall be signed by the head of department. It shall be submitted to the Director when asked for permission to report for mobility.

DOCUMENTATION TO BE SUBMITTED TOGETHER WITH THE APPLICATION FORM:

– Written commitment by all parties involved whether it is the department or someone from the department who commits to cover the teaching load.

– Copy of the certificates accrediting knowledge of languages.

SELECTION CRITERIA of the CIFP AVILÉS Staff: If in doubt, original certificates would be requested.

– Seniority in the Corps as a Career Civil Servant / Interim= 1.0 point/year of service

– For seniority in the centre with definitive assignment: 1.0 point / year in the centre

As interim = 0.5 points/year at the centre

– For A1- A2 level of language proficiency = 0.5 points for each level in each language

– For B1 level of language proficiency = 1.0 point for each level and in each language

– For B2 level of language proficiency = 1.5 points for each level and in each language

– For C1-C2 level of language proficiency = 2.0 points for each level and in each language

Teachers who have not participated in previous mobility calls will be given full priority and those who have participated in previous mobility calls will be placed on a second reserve list. The final selection is made by the consortium and special attention will be paid to the knowledge of English / German (Germany) for destinations other than Italy, France or Portugal.

The profile of the teaching staff required in the Project presented and which finances these mobilities is that of the teachers who make up the departments of Mechanical Manufacturing, Installation and Maintenance (in these two departments with Welding and Boilermaking) and Vehicle Transport and Maintenance.

The preferential selection of a number of destinations in the Application should not mean that these destinations will be assigned to us, we will try to respect them, but what will take precedence are the needs of the Consortium.

GENERAL ISSUES: Until now, in all cases the Consortium managed the search and contracting of travel, insurance and accommodation, so that the beneficiary was paid 80% of the total amount of the Grant (which is the amount initially contributed to the Project), and the beneficiary had to reimburse the Consortium for the cost of travel-insurance-accommodation. At the end of the mobility and having completed and submitted the reports, and once Madrid approves the project and pays the money, the remaining 20% is paid to the beneficiary. We assume that there are no changes in the method, otherwise you will be guided in it.

It must be taken into account that the amount of the grant is an aid and in no case it will cover the activity 100%, so it is possible that the beneficiaries will have to put out of their own pocket and even advance money (for example, for the rent of the cars in destination, in previous years 150€ were advanced, but also 12-14 people moved at the same time, now there would be only 4 per mobility).

The participant will receive all the necessary documentation prior to the Mobility, and must apply for the Permit Application to his/her workplace in good time.

If you are selected, you must obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and you must provide the following documents:

– Photocopy of ID card

– ID-sized photograph in digital and paper format

– Certification of the bank account to make the economic income (copy of the account number).

At the end of the Mobility, the participant undertakes to complete:

An online report, for which you will receive assistance, if necessary.

– And you will make a diary of the visit with the activities carried out and with photos of the companies/centres, a Powerpoint presentation is suggested, which will be given to both the Coordinator of APAGA and the Coordinators of CIFP Avilés for its Dissemination.

In addition, both documents are required in order to receive the remaining 20% of the scholarship.

It is also very important that, during the visits, the teaching staff should check if the host partners could be feasible to host our students to do the FCTs with them, of which the coordinators of CIFP Avilés will be informed.

As recognition of the Mobility, the participant will receive:

– Europass Mobility Certificate

– Certificate of Attendance issued by the host partner.
