BCTalent Stories: Ciellos
Ciellos trainees and executives describe the Microsoft Rescale (BC Talent) program, which trains career changers in Business Central functional consulting through soft skills and business consulting skills, taught case by case. The company says it joined because hiring from other partners does not scale. It expects AI and Copilot to mean less development work and more need for people who understand business processes. It also says the program costs less than doing the training itself.

Overview
This 3-minute BCTalent Stories video from March 2024 features trainees and a company perspective on the Rescale program at Ciellos. Trainees describe starting to learn Business Central through the program and finding tasks easier than expected.
The company side says the program walks students through cases and processes in a methodical way. It expects less development in the future and a need for people who understand business processes, with training that includes Copilot and AI. They say the program is challenging but the value is paying off compared with the cost.
Key points
- The Rescale program teaches soft skills and business consulting skills, working case by case and process by process in a methodical way.
- Ciellos entered the program with Microsoft to scale how it adds people, because it cannot keep hiring from other partners.
- The CEO expects AI and Copilot to mean less development in the future, so more people with consulting skills and business process understanding are needed.
- Trainees come from other careers, for example a former management assistant at a pottery factory, and start as functional consultant trainees.
- Trainees describe the program as having a lot to learn, but say a clear path, coaches and a community make the transition easier.
- The company says the value from what it pays for the program is paying off, and that doing all the training itself would be much more expensive.
