Your start at adesso – more than just an apprenticeship
For many who are fresh out of school, an apprenticeship is their first major step into the professional world. At adesso Schweiz AG, we are currently training five EFZ (Swiss Certificate of Competence) computer scientists and one EFZ computer scientist in the field of application development at our locations in Bern and Zurich.
It is important to be happy at work and a person’s first job experiences are formative ones. We asked our current and former apprentices what they like most about adesso.
Noah: „There is a real feeling of comradery at the office and the employees are great. Plus, adesso also has a lot to offer its employees, for example the eduCamp.“
Aswina: „You are constantly learning new things, the people here help bring out the best in you and they are there to support you. There are always new projects and new challenges awaiting us. Computer science is by no means a purely male profession and I really like the job. It takes a lot of creativity and teamwork, which are my strong suits.“
Laurin: „There is a really nice working atmosphere. You work very independently, but also have a lot of personal responsibility. Plus, the annual eduCamp is always a highlight.“
Our vacancies
In Zurich, we recruit our apprentices directly via ZLI (Zürcher Lehrbetriebsverband ICT).
The new apprenticeship openings for August 2020 and 2021 in Bern have already been filled. We are not yet able to offer apprenticeships at our offices in Basel and Lausanne.
We use Future Day and our recruiting event in Bern to introduce adesso to the next generation. We are currently unable to offer any trial days. We are happy to answer your questions about young talents via e-mail at: youngtalents@adesso.ch.

Flat hierarchies, open doors, short decision-making paths, mutual support and recognition are key elements of our corporate culture. At adesso, we are on a first name basis across all hierarchical levels. It’s important to us that our employees not only get along well with each other when working together on projects, but also outside of their day-to-day work. We foster the team spirit at numerous joint events and activities outside of the office.

Team cohesion and fun should not be neglected in the workplace.
In addition to the many employee events, our annual eduCamp is an absolute highlight. This training week takes place at a location right on the Mediterranean Sea. There, the focus is not only on the community experience, but also on training. Various workshops are held in which external trainers inform us about new technologies. Wherever possible, we also offer subsequent professional certification. The costs (including accommodation and meals) are borne by adesso.
