Welcome
to your future

Key info in brief

Find the apprenticeship position of your dreams at Swisscom. An apprenticeship with Switzerland’s largest ICT company is a major step towards standing on your own two feet. At Swisscom, we have a flexible, mobile approach to work. You’re free to choose the path your apprenticeship takes and the development steps it includes. Your personal coaches will help with any questions that arise during your training.

The Profile of Competences - Your Guide and Point of Reference During Teaching

Each apprenticeship has a profile of competences. It describes all the skills that you, as a worker and school learner, need to acquire until the end of your apprenticeship. In Swisscom, you can decide when, how and where you want to work. Always with your goals - job-specific skills - in mind, you will explore your own individual learning path, tailored to you and your interests.

Learning Support - Your personal coach

Don't worry, we won't leave you alone! Your learning companion will accompany you throughout your learning: He will keep an eye on your exceptional skills and support you in the planning and implementation of your development stages. Within the projects, you will be supported on a professional and relational level by the collaborators who are the project suppliers. The three of you discuss the goals of your project and how to proceed.

The Marketplace of Projects (The Marketplace) - Your space for discovery and learning

Online, in our project marketplace, you will find a large selection of various projects proposed by our Swisscom employees. A project can be a stand-alone task that you work on from start to finish, or it can be a responsibility that you take on steps or work processes. Based on your skills profile, you apply for projects that bring you closer to your goal: to have your "backpack" filled with all the skills until the end of your apprenticeship. During your apprenticeship you will get to know a wide variety of people and areas of responsibility, and the best part: you will work from the start on real and economically relevant topics and make a significant contribution to the success of the products and the work.

Would you like to know more about our apprenticeship model and what exactly is behind these projects? Then we recommend to you this blog post.
