The General Direction of Vocational Training and Adult Education (DGFPEA) of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports of Canary Islands CA has confirmed centers participating in Erasmus+ student mobilities projects providing a financial support. Since that organism’s use of support is recommended to increase the number of mobilities according to the so-called Erasmus+ “Zero Grants”.

The IES Puerto de la Cruz – Telesforo Bravo, through the school Erasmus+ Coordination, has decided to use this economic contribution to increase the number of places for mobility trainees during 2018-2019. Another three grants are available from previous KA1 project of 2017-20178 Thus, we will have the initial 19+3 mobility workplaces funded by Erasmus+ grants and 1 added traineeship place funded by the DGFPEA, so we can finally have 23 places for student mobilities. The amount of this support will be slightly less than the Erasmus+ budget, but enough to face mobility.

IES Puerto de la Cruz – Telesforo Bravo has been successful, as last years, for Erasmus+ Students Mobilities for Practices KA1 Project. The Spanish National Agency (SEPIE) has selected our application and has granted the Project with 19 mobilities for students and 4 mobilities for staff.

To these mobilities for students will be added 3 more SMP ones left from last year KA103 Project. Then, 22 of our higher short cycle students are going to have the opportunity of taking part in the Project and do their traineeship in an European country.

On Wednesday 8th of November will take place the first official meeting for the students, selected and belonging to reserve list, to take part in KA103 trainneeship Mobilities for Students 2017-2018. It will take place in Salón de Actos from 13:30 pm to 14:30 pm. All the students selected in the process must assist to the meeting. Students in reserve list may attend and it would be very recommendable.

All participant students will have to sign a compromise document. Also we will take the opportunity to make a first approach to the destinations of the traineeships and they will be entrusted with a series of tasks and a deadline for carrying them out.
