Enhancing Professional Skills and Training in Research and Industry

1. Status WP5-1 on Promoting professional skills training & cross improvement between research laboratories & industry What about the scopes? Promoting professional skills training and cross improvement between research laboratories and industry • Training and apprenticeship in TI. Defining the conditions and setting the basis for an apprenticeship program, where professional technicians and young engineers from relevant industrial partners would be trained by hands-on fabrication, assembly or test of accelerator and magnet equipment and by exercising key techniques • Training and apprenticeship in industry. The engagement in industrial R&D activities and in services to the industry aimed at innovating their products and processes would benefit from the secondments of researchers and technical personnel within the companies themselves.

2. T5.1 Activities of the first year • After the Industryday in Padova, a working group withindustrywasformed (40-30, Elytt and Alsyom) and meetings wereheld. In particular a meeting a last Decemberwith participation of otherTask (5.2 and 5.4) • Survey of the practice in TI in training and apprenticeship • Survey of the practice in Industryin training and apprenticeship • Resultspresented at Uppsala • Summarized in preliminary reports

3. WP5.1 : Skills to develop in companies • Survey on practice at CERN ongoing • There is a need of a list of skills that companies should have or should develop in the field of accelerators and magnets. • If otheridentifiedskills in yourlab, pleaseinform me • Will be sent to companies and feedback asked

4. T5.1 : Training available • Since companies could not express their needs in terms of training, WP5.1 has listed the trainings thatcouldbeavailable to companies at TI • List willbe sent to companiesafter modification withyour inputs.

5. T5.1 : Training available

6. T5.1 What’s next • How to finance the training : • Can a training be given in a country different from the trainee company country be included in the state law financing? • Do europeanfundsexist to support trainings expenses ? • The nextsteps : • Could we create a « fund » with contribution of interested companies and practice the training? • Creating a consortium of infrastructures and companies in order to train/learn when contracts for next accelerators or magnets construction are issued or ….

7. T5.1 : Training preparation and Participation certificate • Training preparation and participation certificate : • To agree on which TI can teach which topic and whom. • To agree on the content of the trainings (what should be tought), meetings between the relevant TI to establish the content on targeted subject (for example on CR assembly, CEA and DESY, on magnet CEA and CERN). • To review periodically the content and make it evolve • To attest that companies have attended and circulate the information between TI and register on a common database ? and to issue a document stamped by AMICI • Be aware that we do not substitute to general trainings. We should not use the term certification since we don’t have the certification status.
