Administrative Staff Exchange
Dear TAU Administrative Staff
The Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility Program is an EU initiative that funds administrative staff to participate in a training period of one week (five working days and two days of travel) at leading universities throughout Europe. This is an extensive, unique, and worthwhile opportunity to expand professional skills while adding an international element.
The program aims to expose employees to different organizational cultures, meet new colleagues from across Europe and beyond while equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed in a dynamically changing society.
There are two types of opportunities:
International Training Week (available at specific institutions)
As part of the training week, you'll be networking with faculty and staff from the host institution and colleagues from other institutions worldwide. The host institution organizes several workshops on relevant topics during the week, offering a specific theme each week. Not all ITA's are available to everyone, and you should contact us for more information, eligibility, and assistance.
Shadowing
Shadowing is a training framework giving you the chance to shadow and experience the daily work routine of colleagues at host institutions. You'll be exposed to different ways of working and understand their professional dilemmas and practical tools used by host institutions. This program is customized and built personally, requiring you to contact host institutions and create a program tailored to your needs and capabilities.
Please note that travel authorization is not automatic and we have limited allocations for each TAU department. An internal committee will evaluate all applications using the criteria below; only after receiving all nominations.
While the University encourages diversity, they will prioritize first-time applicants.
The host institution will have final approval.
The travel days will be recognized (for the selected employees) as training days/absence with pay, subject to final approval by the Human Resources Department.
You can consult with TAU's partnerships coordinator for clarification or guidance at any stage in the application process.
