SBFI: Professional certificate for information and communication technologies is coming
For the professional field of information and communication technologies (ICT), the federal specialist certificate is on the horizon. In the future, the "Digital Collaboration Specialist" should ensure the competencies for the digital challenges in companies and administrations.
At the end of July, the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) reviewed the newly developed examination regulations and guidelines and gave the go-ahead for further action, as ICT-Berufsbildung Schweiz, the organization for the information and communications technology profession, announced on Friday.
The degree, which is suitable for people from the ICT professional field as well as from the commercial or business management field, was developed jointly by ICT-Berufsbildung Schweiz and the Swiss Commercial Association. The first professional examination is scheduled to take place in 2023, with the first preparatory courses starting this fall.
The so-called Digital Collaboration Specialists support the digital transformation in companies and administrations, according to the press release. At the interface of technology, communication and human resources development, they ensure that customers and employees are up to the challenge and fit for the digital age. (SDA)
