Press release
Lausanne / Geneva, September 30, 2025. Against the backdrop of growth in the Swiss IT market and increasing cybersecurity needs within organizations, Almond and Skill & You are combining their expertise to launch a unique training program in operational cybersecurity.
Marketed by Skill & You in Switzerland starting September 30, the “Operational Cybersecurity in the Workplace” training course provides participants with the fundamental knowledge and skills in system security, cryptography, incident management, testing, and governance. It draws on the technical expertise of Geneva-based Almond Suisse and the adult education expertise of Lausanne-based Skill & You Suisse.
This 90-hour training program, taught in French, is designed for IT professionals who want to develop their skills in the field of cybersecurity. It is also open to job seekers, as well as young people and students aged 16 and older.
Delivered via an online training platform, accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on an “à la carte” basis, it adapts to each individual’s learning pace and schedule. In collaboration with experts, it is certified by the Studé quality label, which guarantees that continuing education programs meet high standards in terms of teaching tools, methodology and support, transparency, and continuous improvement.
"The Swiss market is facing strong demand for cybersecurity experts, and companies and cybersecurity service providers are bracing for a talent shortage. Our training program aims to meet the market’s needs to support companies’ digital transformation and economic development."
“Whether it’s commerce, finance, tourism, the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, or the watchmaking and jewelry sectors, all Swiss industries are making cybersecurity a top priority. Skill & You developed this training program with Almond to meet the needs of Swiss companies of all sizes.
