Newcomers

Welcome to CERN IT Department!

Fostering a sense of belonging and integration for newcomers is important for us. We are here to support you as you settle in.

Onboarding

The CERN Onboarding Program, which includes the to-do checklist, mandatory training etc, can be found at the dedicated Onboarding website.

IT Induction

There is also the IT induction, which complements the CERN-wide induction and provides useful information to kickstart your journey in the IT Department. See menu for more information.

Buddy System

IT also offers a buddy system, which is aimed at facilitating the social integration of the newcomer into their team/section/group. See menu for more information.

Newcomer Lunches

Lunch event for newcomers and other IT members: an opportunity to connect with each other outside of the usual working relationships and across teams/sections/groups. Long-standing colleagues can share their institutional knowledge, offer guidance and provide tips for navigating the CERN IT ecosystem. Fresh perspectives from newcomers can fuel a lively exchange.

Lunch dates can be found on the Newcomer Lunch indico calendar.
