How well known is the "Digital Collaboration Specialist (BP)" qualification among potential employers? What are the professional benefits of the training?

Digital Collaboration Specialists are qualified specialists in areas such as communication, IT, technology, agility, coaching and digital transformation. As "pioneers of a digital economy", they are key success factors in the needs-based introduction and implementation of far-reaching digital change processes in companies.

The Digital Collaboration Specialist professional examination is a new further training course created in April 2021.

The Swiss ICT Vocational Training Association is behind the vocational examination. It has been in existence since spring 2010 and is committed to combating the shortage of skilled workers in the rapidly growing field of information and communication technology (ICT). ICT vocational training is supported by a total of eight national industry and professional associations as well as 17 regional vocational training associations from the ICT sector - it is correspondingly well established on the Swiss labor market.

The professional examination to become a Digital Collaboration Specialist with a federal certificate is part of the continuing education and training offered by the PET sector and is a federally recognized examination.

The vocational examinations offer the opportunity for initial specialization after basic vocational training (Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ)) and are highly valued by employers due to their practical relevance.
