Why this initiative is crucial for Swiss Banks

Total control & flexibility

Banks collectively define priority training courses and validate a stable schedule, ensuring that the training is aligned with their business needs.

Guaranteed course execution

No more cancellations due to lack of enrollment: every scheduled session will take place.

Transparent & optimized model

Payment per seat rather than per participant allows for rotation of IT professionals and maximizes value.

Up to 50% savings

The more banks participate, the lower the cost per seat, making this model economically viable.

Community & knowledge sharing

IT leaders collaborate, exchange insights, and define relevant training for the sector.

Who should participate?
