Designing the workplace of the future

As a digital collaboration specialist, you plan ICT solutions. To this end, you will lead sub-projects and projects within the framework of digital developments. You analyse and consider stakeholder needs and derive the best course of action. You skilfully combine agile and classic methods. As an expert in digital transformation, you are familiar with the current tools and possibilities – this is how you design the modern workplace in your company.

Mediator between people and technology

Are you already working in digital communication or IT, on the business side of things with IT tasks or as a technically oriented project manager? Or would you like to support the IT department as a career changer? Then our programme is just the right thing for you: as a specialist, you build bridges between people and technology, between IT and communication.

Digitisation professional through commitment

You have one day’s training per week: Classroom sessions introduce you to the topics, which you then explore in greater depth in groups or individually. In the process, in-person teaching alternates with online sequences. Transfer and project work provide an opportunity to apply what you have learned directly in practice. In this way, you can hone your skills in your everyday working life, and your employer already stands to benefit from this during your course of study.

The programme is modular and can be tailored to your individual needs. Our staff will be happy to support you.

Optional: targeted exam preparation

The content of the Digital Collaboration Specialist with Swiss federal diploma programme is based on various topics including agility, information technology, digital transformation and coaching. You will acquire skills in communication, rhetoric, big data, project management, the coaching of teams as well as online marketing and data protection/information security.
