My SWE Experience

“The SWE community gives you fresh perspectives, it helps you to look at your challenges differently and to spot things inside you that you are capable of, but you didn’t see before.”

Inga Urbina

“SWE provides you with a support network – you may feel alone or isolated with a certain challenge but there is always someone within SWE sharing that challenge who can help”.

Dr. Hamideh Ahmadloo

Strategic Sourcing Manager-Americas, SIKA

“Our HR partners could identify trainings within SWE and define a one-year programme – which shows how rich the content is in the SWE platform”
