While we were climbing through 10;000 feet up to the lower FL 20's from ZZZ to ZZZ1; as we passed through 11;000 the 'CAB ALT' Light illuminated. I was the Pilot flying I asked the PM (Pilot Monitoring) to tell ATC we need to stop climb. We stopped at 12;000 feet. We pulled out the checklist. I noted a Cabin Altitude of 11;000 feet. We ran the appropriate Checklist. We descended to below 10;000 feet. The CAB Light went out. I did [request priority handling] since its part of the checklist procedure. While we were not that high. I was not sure what was going on? As I had never had an issue in an XLS with pressurization. The controller was in Normal so? The passengers never noticed anything. We were closer to ZZZ1 than turning back to ZZZ so we pressed on with the issue under control. Plus the ZZZ1 ATC [Center] Folks while they can be aggressive; are some of the best in the world if I had an issue I wanted their help into some great Airports with assistance. We performed a normal landing. After landing once we had some light I noticed that the Auto/Man switch had been moved to manual so I knew then what the issue was we were in manual mode. I pointed that out to the FO (First Officer). He is very new to the plane. It was night and dark and a long day. He moved a wrong switch and when doing the after Take off check did not notice the issue. Its a learning process. For me too have to watch new guys which is my responsibility as a Captain and its my ship. The good thing we caught it before it was a real issue.
Captain reported cabin pressurization malfunctioned during climb. The crew continued to destination airport where post flight it was discovered that the pressurization switch had been set to the wrong position.
