Together we create new perspectives for AI talents
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing our world and the demand for qualified specialists is increasing rapidly. In response to this development, a milestone is being set in Switzerland: a new federal qualification for AI Business Specialists is being created. And we at the Online Group? We actively shape it, not as spectators, but as co-creators.
We’re not just there, we’re at the table
When heavyweights such as Microsoft, Swisscom, IBM, Accenture, SBB, Huawei, SwissRe and we at the Online Group come together to shape the future of AI education, it shows that we are among those actively driving change.
Our Head of AI Solutions, Ralf Angermann, is significantly involved in this project as an expert. He not only contributes his in-depth specialist knowledge, but also valuable practical experience, which helps to consistently align the new degree with the needs of the economy.
“It is a great honor to help shape the new AI Business Specialist degree. From practical experience, I know what it takes to successfully implement AI in companies.”

What is behind the new federal qualification?
Initiated by ICT Vocational Education and Training Switzerland, supported by the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) and Huawei, a practical training program is currently being created that sets new standards: a federal qualification that specifically produces AI business specialists who combine innovation and implementation and support companies in their digital transformation.
The starting signal for the first graduates will be given in fall 2026.
Here you will find detailed information, including a brochure, about the new course.
From the idea to the classroom
Strong concepts only become reality with strong partners. Renowned educational institutions such as HSO, ICT Berufsbildung Aargau, ICT-LearnFactory, IFA, Juventus Schulen Zürich, SIW and the Swiss Cyber Institute bring the vision into the classroom and enable practical, future-oriented training for prospective Business AI Specialists.
Why this is more than just a project for us
At the Online Group, we don’t just live AI in theory, we put it into practice. Our experience shows that sustainable success arises where innovation meets concrete benefits. It is precisely this approach that Ralf brings to the development of the new federal qualification for Business AI Specialists.
Our conclusion
We are proud to be part of this pioneering initiative, because if you want to shape the future, it’s not enough to just be part of it, you have to help build it.
