Apprenticeships in success

Another perfect record for CERN's Apprenticeship Programme: double diplomas for all this year's graduates!

CERN's apprentices can be proud of themselves yet again. All five of the 2009-2013 students who left CERN in June went away with two diplomas in their pockets: the CFC (Certificat Fédéral de Capacité) and the Maturité professionnelle. We would like to congratulate Melinda Hiltbrand and Sydney Bussard, laboratory technician apprentices, and Maxime Aebischer, Marc-André Duverney and Tanguy Ruggiero, electronics apprentices.

Maxime Aebischer, who obtained excellent results throughout his four-year apprenticeship at CERN, was also awarded the 2013 Prix de l’Union industrielle genevoise (UIG) at a ceremony on 3 December attended by Pierre-François Unger, Geneva state councillor.

Three new apprentices arrived at CERN in September. Under the supervision of Jean-Marc Bouché of the Human Resources Department, who is responsible for the training of technical apprentices, CERN's 18 apprentices all benefit from the expertise and commitment of CERN's professional staff.
