CNFM (National Coordination for Education in Microelectronics and nanotechnologies) is a French public organization that federates academic and industrial partners for the purpose of education in Micro and Nano-electronics. CNFM focuses on making heavy educational resources such as professional CAD tools, clean rooms, or industrial test equipment available for common use, by all French universities, laboratories and industrial partners. As part of the "Investment Plan for the Future" promoted by the French government, the CNFM network applied and was selected for an 8-year project entitled "IDEFI-FINMINA". One of the eight work packages consisted in creating a single national entry point for lifelong learning, first for engineers in the electronics industry to maintain their employability and second for university faculties to maintain their expertise at the state of the art of the technology. The strategy consists in collecting ideas for lifelong learning from teachers attached to the twelve CNFM centers located in French cities benefiting of a high-tech environment (Paris, Orsay, Lille, Strasbourg, Grenoble, Lyon, Nice-Marseille, Montpellier, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Limoges and Rennes) and developing a uniform online catalogue of lifelong and short continuing training. Trainees would benefit from the expertise of CNFM teachers and the operational resources of the CNFM network. The promotion of lifelong learning opportunities is achieved through presentations at trade fairs, electronic events and meetings with corporate human resources departments, as well as via the Internet (http://web-pcm.cnfm.fr/formation) and social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube). Companies and engineers are also encouraged to request new lifelong learning adapted to their needs. The CNFM is linked to the universities' continuing education departments to manage any request for financial support from the company. |
