IT training policy
Learning and development is a responsibility shared by the Organization/the Department, its managers and each individual member of the Department. The current IT training policy is that members of the IT department are offered the training that is required for their work, as determined by the specifics of their work and as approved by their hierarchy, regardless of their employment status.
Mandatory and recommended courses
Depending on your role, job requirements and interests, different learning opportunities are available to you, some of which are mandatory. To make it easy for you, mandatory courses are visible in Learning Profiles in LMS. Go to https://lms.cern.ch -> Learning Profiles -> expand your learning profiles. Supervisors can check Learning Profiles of a supervisee in Manager Review on the LMS.
In addition - IT recommends following courses:
- For new graduates, IT department recommends following communication courses.
- The Chief Security Officer expects programmers, developers, service managers and architects to follow SecureFlag training on work-related subjects.
Note: it’s always a good idea to discuss your development goals with your supervisor before enrolling in a course.
