Requirements. 

You have completed your compulsory secondary school education. Mathematics, English and logical thinking are amongst your proven strengths. Your ability to grasp things rapidly and notice connections quickly, combined with your strong communication skills and focus on teamwork will lead you to success. You take the initiative with a sense of responsibility and have an organised approach to finding optimal solutions. 

Taster days.

You can see the great things our IT trainees achieve on a day-to-day basis at first hand during a taster day. Dive into our world of information technology and get inspired by the various possible careers. The taster days are organised by our training partner Login and take place on our premises. 

Submit your application. 

After completing the taster day, you can apply for an officially advertised position with our training partner Login. Once your documents have been reviewed, you will be invited for an interview. 

Signing up. 

Depending on the apprenticeship, you may be required to present a Multicheck, details of which will be given to you in person. If both parties are in agreement, our training partner Login will issue you with a contract for an apprenticeship based at SBB. 

Starting the programme. 

The programme starts in August each year.

Reduced training period.

You benefit from a reduced training period thus saving yourself a year. This will allow you to begin your professional life earlier. Having successfully completed your training, you will have good chances of finding a permanent position with SBB. 

Career coach. 

A coach will accompany and support you over the entire training period, providing individually tailored and knowledgeable support. The aim: to make the best use of your strengths and achieve goals which are tailored to who you are. We will also support you in completing your Berufsmatura (vocational school leaving certificate) one year earlier. 

Benefits. 

During the entire training period, you have the benefit of a 2nd class GA Travelcard. Up to the age of 20, you can enjoy six weeks of holidays. In addition, you will have six weeks of study time per year. You can also benefit from your own choice of additional educational opportunities, such as language courses, stays abroad or specific IT certificate courses. Keep on developing, and get Switzerland moving with us. 

Network building. 

Thanks to the fact that you will be assigned to various departments within IT, you will be able to build up a big network. 

IoT power plant application.

When the clock-face schedule has many trains setting off at the same time all across Switzerland, intelligent sensors switch the air conditioning and heating off for a few minutes at just the right time, unnoticed by the customer. This state-of-the-art IoT application saves us a whole power plant of energy. 

Mobile app for the visually impaired.

Those who are visually impaired or blind can use the SBB Inclusive app to listen to the visual customer information at the station and on the train using their own mobile phones. Bluetooth beacons make this possible. 

Blockchain in the world’s longest railway tunnel.

In the Gotthard Base Tunnel, we use blockchain technology to open doors. This ensures that only authorised staff can access specially secured areas.
