Supplementary Employment (“Avodah Mashlima”):
Scholarship recipients, whose scope of “employment units” in the Office for Academic Staff at Technion does not meet the guaranteed 300 of “employment units” as per the agreement signed between Technion Teaching Staff organization (TTSO) and the Technion may submit a request for “Supplementary Employment” using the Request for “Request for Supplementary Employment (“Avodah Mashlima”)” form.
“Supplementary Employment” is work at the Technion (not in “employment units”), which benefits the Technion and is not connected to the Student’s research for which scholarships are granted and employment at the Technion and/or outside the Technion which serves the community.
Below is a list of possible types of “Supplementary Employment” (at and/or outside the Technion which benefits the Technion and the community and is not in “employment units”):
- Technion Student Union and/or Technion Research & Development Foundation.
- Mentoring students at the “Center for Promoting of Learning and Teaching”/Technion Student Union.
- Teaching at the “Youth Science” Unit.
- Work as a scientific reporter for the “Technion Spokesperson’s Office”.
- Teaching in academic institution and/or in schools (commute time will be included in allowed time).
Please note: requests for employments not included in the above list, will be considered by the Graduate School individually based on the definition of “supplementary employment” and in consideration of the type of employment and academic status of the student.
“Supplementary Employment” will be calculated based on work hours and not based on salary. For an example: if 1,100 “employment units” equal in most cases to 8 weekly hours, a scholarship recipient that has 300 “employment units” will be allowed to request “Supplementary Employment” in a scope that will not exceed 6 weekly hours.
More details can be found in the information page attached to the submission form and on the Technion Teaching Staff Organization (TTSO)’s website.
