    Selections

    Considering the criterias established by the National Office for the Civil Service and the appeal to the first class Institution ASSOD, Fo.co considers added values that contribute to the participation at the Civil Service for young people with fewer opportunities, in particular for young people with low literacy and social disadvantage, and so they are people with certificated disabilities according the law 104/92; these people will receive an additional score of 5.

    The convocation for the selections will be published 15 days before on the website www.coopfoco.org in Civil Service section. The calendar’s publication represents, according the law, the notification for the convocation (for this reason you will not receive an e-mail). The candidate who  submitted the application, is not present to the interview in the established days without a motivation, will be excluded from the selection because he does not complete the specific process.
