Technical Training in 2005 The ECDL Pilot Project 2005TEC, 6.12.2005 Davide VitèHR-PMD – TEC, 6.12.2005
Technical Training: General • Restructuring of HR-PMD-ATT • Reduced administrative support during the second half of 2005 • some short-term help was made available • opportunity for process review • CTA2 - CERN Training Application • debugging phase • 2005 Revalidation exercise – year-end 2005 • withdrawal of pending Training Requests made prior to September or December 2004 (TBC)
Internship from the University of Geneva:TT Evaluation project (1) • UNIGE Degree project with CERN Technical Training • Contacts with departments/units (DTOs, staff,…) and trainers • 4 DTOs and a couple of trainers already met • Evaluation of technical competences acquired following a specific training action – draft proposal being evaluated • Selection of a few appropriate course sessions • Identify needs and expectations before the training action • Training action • Feedback questionnaire (at the end of session) • Evaluation form (1-3 months later) • Evaluation interview (1-2 months later)
Internship from the University of Geneva:TT Evaluation project (2) • Choice of course sessions more appropriateto an evaluation pilot project • AutoCAD, PCAD • LabVIEW, Siemens Step 7 • some office software (Excel, PowerPoint, Acrobat, FrontPage) • a possible next session of Technique du vide • Participation to other course evaluation and/or design activities when relevant to both parties • e.g., re-evaluation of recent training action on Dreamweaver (new training company) • Corrective action being designed, organised, and evaluated after a first session with mixed feedback • some DTOs contacted
2005 Statistics – provisional (2) Exceptional contributions to yearly statistics (1) • Software & System Technologies • PVSS/JCOP: 2 courses, CERN trainers15 sessions, 136 participants • EDMS: 4 courses, CERN trainers13 sessions, 110 participants • Electronics design • LabVIEW: 6 courses, external trainers (National Instruments)11 sessions, 68 participants • High-speed Digital PCB design: 1 course,external trainers (Oxford University Continuing Education)1 session, 47 participants
2005 Statistics – provisional (3) Exceptional contributions to yearly statistics (2) • Office software • CERN-specific (CET, LaTeX), 2 sessions, 22 participants • Special • EDMS: 1 course, CERN trainers2 sessions, 29 participants • Oracle Certifications: 2 sessions, 25 participants • AutoCAD: 1 course (training support to version migration, AutoCAD2002 to AutoCAD2006 transition), external trainers4 sessions, 32 participants
2005 Statistics – provisional (4) Course Series • ELEC-2005 - Electronics in High Energy Physics4 Terms, 28 two-hour lectures, 40 ave. registrations per term • IT3T - IT Technical Training Tutorials) - June 2005http://winservices.web.cern.ch/WinServices/seminars/Tutorials/4 Tutorials, 20 registrations per tutorial (on average) • AXEL-2005 - Introduction to Particle Accelerators10 one-hour lectures, 5 days, 53 registrations • EMAG-2005 - Electromagnetic Design and Mathematical Optimization Methods in Magnet Technology8 three-hour lectures + 8 topical seminars, 8 days22 registrations
TT courses in preparation • CLEAN-2002: Working in a cleanroom (F/E) • cleanroom course being revised • AXEL-2006 or 2007 • Reviewed software engineering curriculum • Software engineering • C++ • Java • Office software curriculum • Short courses vs. long courses • ECDL? • Certification • LabVIEW, AutoCAD
Technical Training Seminars 2005 • LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AGLaser Trackers:the Local Positioning Technology (LPT)May 2005 • CADSCHOOLForum AutoCAD Mechanical 2006November 2005Training support for 2002 2006 software migration 2 seminars being scheduled in early 2006 • Texas Instruments • A Physicist in the world of finance (AT)
Why ECDL? • internationally recognized competency model • CERN STI 2004 project • for personnel development (considering current structure of short- and long-term contracts) • modularity is a key factor • objective benchmark • increase knowledge of relevant applicationsto enhance productivity • within an ongoing development process • ECDL Start, ECDL, ECDL Advanced, CAD (Computer Aided Design), CTP (Certified Training Professional)
The 7 Modules • M1 Basic concepts of IT • M2 Using the computer and managing files • M3 Word processing • M4 Spreadsheets • M5 Database • M6 Presentation • M7 Information and Communication computerised tests NB: ECDL is not vendor oriented
ECDL at CERN – peculiarities • importance of a modular approach • all commercial software at CERN is made available by IT in English only • need of a training offer for office software in English AND in French on the English software
The CERN ECDL 2004Evaluation Project (Pilot #1) • phase 1a: evaluation by external consultant • phase 1b: internal evaluation • policy, evaluation of need and interest levels, project definition, initial endorsement by TEC and JTB • phase 2: pilot project with selected users • 3 information sessions • special training sessions • CERN ECDL Test Day: 2.12.2004 • phase 3: final evaluation • phase 4: recommendation of second pilot
The CERN ECDL 2005PH Project (Pilot #2) • New Pilot Project 2005 for the first “standard” ECDL certification at CERN(official ECDL Test Centre CH-180) • the DTO of PH collaborated in gradually introduce ECDL • Identification of a group of 9 people (in particular new LS with LD contracts) • special project aimed at offering the ECDL Start • financial support – cost was about 3’200.- CHF (tests, trainer) • 4 sessions (April-July 2005) • facilitated by TT and external (ECDL certified) trainer
How is ECDL currently used at CERN? • ECDL for staff recruiting – diagnostic tests • 10 selection boards since March 2005 • ECDL for training – diagnostic tests • Proposed at the end of relevant training sessions (classroom- or Web-based) • Pilot course with ECDL test proposed: • ACCESS 2003 - Level 1 • Limited interest if left optional
ECDL proposal for 2006 • Renew site license • Propose ECDL certification • Identify target audience – open attitude preferred • Support from JTB, TEC, DTO & management if possible (at the GL level at least) • Apply new evaluation method (UNIGE intern) • Training: continue with diagnostic tests • Recruiting: continue with diagnostic tests Proposal submitted to the JTB on 22.11.2005
A possible implementationof ECDL at CERN • The ECDL Start Certificate • Any 4 of the 7 modules • Suggested choice (PH, TT, IT): • M1 Basic concepts of IT • M2 Using the computer and managing files • M7 Information and Communication • M3 Word processing or M4 Spreadsheets • Training to be offered, where necessary
