Our story: Swiss IT excellence & European technological expertise
NextGen Workforce was born from a clear vision:
Swiss companies need reliable, highly qualified IT professionals – without compromising on security, quality, or compliance. At the same time, the market demands modern, scalable B2B team models that are sustainable in the long term.
Our founder has more than 25 years of experience in the Swiss IT sector, accompanied by over 16 specialized IT training courses, including Business Informatics HF and international certifications such as CISA. He has worked in positions of responsibility for demanding corporate environments and critical IT infrastructures.

Swiss companies need more qualified IT resources – but cost structures, a shortage of skilled workers and increasing compliance requirements set limits.
