A sufficient number of well-trained employees form the foundation of a strong and future-proof sector. We support our members by connecting the education sector with the business community and by developing initiatives that contribute to the recruitment, development, and retention of employees. In this way, we help our members ensure they have a sufficient number of well-trained employees now and in the future.
We connect education and the business community
Quality education begins with effective collaboration between the education sector and the professional field.
We consult regularly with various educational institutions, training providers, and partners such as the SBB regarding the content and quality of educational programs. We incorporate industry developments and work to ensure that education remains aligned with real-world practice. We encourage regional collaborations between educational institutions and businesses. We also represent the sector’s interests in discussions regarding education and the labor market.
We support the development of employees
Technological and societal developments are occurring at a rapid pace. That is why it is important for employees to continue developing their knowledge and skills, and for employers to adapt to changes in the labor market and to foster an attractive work environment. This ensures that employees remain employable, can continue to do their jobs well and with enjoyment, and increases the likelihood that businesses will retain their employees.
We organize knowledge sessions, share up-to-date information, and connect business owners with experts on topics such as being an attractive employer, sustainable employability, and employee development. To this end, we work closely with OOM (Training and Development Fund for Metalworking) to ensure a tailored range of services. We collaborate with training providers, including Aeres Tech, to offer employers and employees tailored opportunities for continuing education, retraining, and professional development.
TIM (Tech in Motion)
Fedecom is the initiator and driving force behind TIM (Tech in Motion), the leading national platform for mobile technology. Within TIM, educational institutions, the business community, and industry organizations collaborate on the future of the sector.
Together, we develop practical and future-proof teaching materials, support teacher development, and encourage the influx of new talent by actively promoting our sector at youth events, through online channels, and in educational institutions.
