Federal Office of Information Technology and Telecommunications FOITT

The FOITT is the digitalization engine of public Switzerland. With around 1,700 employees, it supports the Federal Administration in all IT areas, from initial customer contact to the finished IT product. The wide variety of customer projects, pioneering technologies and working with agile methods are part of our everyday work.

Today, the FOITT is the fourth-largest ICT training company in the canton of Berne and is strongly committed to the further development of ICT vocational training. The aim of the FOITT's promotion of young talent is to support motivated teenagers and young adults during exciting years of training to help them develop into employable professionals.

The area of promoting young talent has been training IT specialists EFZ since 1999 and has also been offering training as a mediamatician EFZ since 2012. In 2008, the FOITT was one of the first training companies to introduce training as a supporter (from 2018 ICT specialist EFZ) and has also been involved in the latest "digital business developer EFZ" apprenticeship from the outset. The practice-integrated Bachelor's degree course in IT offers an ideal entry point for high school graduates. A total of around 90 junior employees complete their training at the FOITT at any one time. More than 250 apprentices have already successfully completed their training at the FOITT - the majority of them remain loyal to the FOITT after their apprenticeship.
