Some have made it, others have just begun. We are talking about the EFZ computer scientist apprenticeship. In this article, you will learn why the computer science profession requires a particularly high level of commitment from its trainers, which pays off several times over.

Success proves Boss Info right
It was with great joy and pride that we were able to congratulate our apprentices once again this year: All of our young talents have successfully graduated from our “Talent Factory” by obtaining their Federal Certificate of Proficiency (EFZ). Once again, we have succeeded in providing the best possible support to talented young people during their training, helping them to develop into qualified and motivated employees. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the apprentices for their achievements during their apprenticeship. Vanessa Mareischen, Andrin Roth, Fabian Schacher, Miguel Estévez und Dave Pellegrini, you all did a great job!
So that we could be there to experience our graduates’ big moment in person, Boss Info representatives attended the graduation ceremonies in Zurich, Bern and Lucerne. Back at the company a few days later, another final internal Boss Info event awaited the young talents when they were challenged to find their way out of a tricky escape room in Langenthal. Here, they were able to put their skills to the test in a different way, before enjoying a pleasant end to the day with an aperitif at the Langenthal site.

With our “Young Talents” division, we, as an SME in the IT sector, are making an important contribution to vocational training and helping to alleviate the much-lamented shortage of skilled workers. Good-quality vocational training requires a lot of effort. We would like to thank all our vocational trainers at the six training sites for their contribution to the success of the training.
From a business perspective, the training of computer scientists offers the worst return on investment of all vocational apprenticeships, as shown by the 2019 study from the Swiss Federal University for Vocational Education and Training (see Fig. 13, p. 38). Long-term thinking is therefore particularly necessary when it comes to this job profile. We are all the happier that all of our “freshly graduated” professionals have decided to continue working at Boss Info and to use the knowledge they have acquired as new junior IT specialists – whether as system IT specialists or application developers.
There is also potential in our company to train business administration specialists, media technicians and the new job profile of “digital business developers”. Details of how other apprenticeships at Boss Info could be offered are being clarified. We offer an internal, one-year trainee program for graduates of an EFZ apprenticeship with a few years of work experience, students or those interested in changing careers. My colleagues provide both the theoretical and practical training needed to develop the project managers of the future.
More about ourTrainee-Programs
On August 2, we welcomed five new apprentices – Elena Khudneva, David Lukas Meer, Nico Wyss, Rex Hu and Nico Heinimann – who are training to become EFZ computer scientists in platform and application development to three locations. Our new young talents took their first steps into the professional world during a successful central introductory day at the Langenthal site.
«Since I started my apprenticeship a few weeks ago, I’ve felt very much at home at Boss Info. It’s as if I’ve been welcomed into a large family. The working atmosphere is very collegial, and my colleagues are open, warm and helpful. This makes it very easy for me to get started in this exciting, new professional world.»

We – the vocational trainers and fellow trainees – are looking forward to taking the first steps on this journey towards professional life with you. Even on the very first day, as Head of Vocational Education and Training, I could see that our new apprentices were committed and attentive listeners and thinkers who approached this major task with a great deal of enthusiasm. This intrinsic motivation is, in addition to good training within the company, a decisive factor. Not only in obtaining the Certificate of Proficiency in computer science, but on the road to success in professional life in general.
