Working as a language assistant in Switzerland

An internship is a great way of gaining your first professional experience before, during or after your education.

As native speakers, language assistants enhance language teaching and illustrate cultural aspects of their native country. The programme is aimed at Swiss students and graduates from traditional universities, universities of applied sciences and teacher training colleges who were born abroad or spent their childhood abroad from the age of four and who grew up with one of the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish or Italian. The paid position will last from around September 2018 to June 2019. The application deadline is the end of March 2018.
