You can find out how and where to find apprenticeships on the official website of the Swiss vocational, educational and career guidance service www.berufsberatung.ch . All professions are presented there in detail alongside a list of vacant apprenticeship positions. In addition, many companies publish vacancies on their websites or on job portals.
Your application must be prepared with care. The dossier should contain a CV, a letter of motivation and other documents such as certificates, relevant diplomas and grades from the last school year. The letter of motivation should be clearly formulated, but not too long, and it should make clear why you are seeking this particular training.
On the above-mentioned website you will find many useful tips for compiling your dossier. Some companies also require an aptitude test such as the Multicheck. More about the Multicheck at: revue.link/multicheck.
Finances
The salary an apprentice earns is not enough to ensure financial independence. However, if parents are not able to support their children financially, there is the possibility of applying for scholarships. The staff at educationsuisse will be happy to advise you on this as well as on all other topics related to education in Switzerland.
