Thanks to its seminars, study programmes and postgraduate courses at various locations throughout Switzerland, the IBAW plays a key role in boosting Switzerland’s role as a business location. 

Specialists and management staff benefit from the institute’s closeness to its customers, the innovative educational portfolio and the state-of-the-art teaching methods in a motivating environment. The IBAW is notable for its dedication, innovative approach and systematic consideration of market forces. 

The IBAW is a brand owned by Miduca PLC, which belongs to the Migros Group. In addition to the IBAW, Miduca manages the brands Migros Club School (excluding the Club Schools belonging to the Migros Cooperative Ostschweiz), Tanzwerk101, event venue eins0eins, Welle7 Workspace and Restaurant the flow. 

Quality is constantly monitored on the basis of the following six criteria:

• Transparency of the courses and programmes
• Communication with clients
• Nature of the service provision
• Qualification of the lecturers
• Learning success of the students
• Awareness of quality assurance and development

The IBAW also has Model F certification.

An eight-member advisory board with representatives from business and science supports the IBAW in strategic issues. Challenges and future prospects for the IBAW and for Switzerland as a business location are assessed and corresponding recommendations for the business strategy are made. In doing so, the committee engages in exchange with key players in favour of work/study programmes in Switzerland in an effort to counter the shortage of skilled workers in Switzerland. The members are elected by the IBAW management for a period of two years and they meet once or twice a year.
