From apprentice to boss" campaign
The umbrella organization FH Switzerland launched the campaign "From apprentice to boss" at its delegates' meeting in Lucerne on March 9. The aim is to strengthen the attractiveness of vocational education and training with high-profile ambassadors and with a view to SwissSkills 2018.
An apprenticeship is the start of a promising professional future. This is also demonstrated by the ambassadors of the "From apprentice to boss" campaign. The foundation of their career is the vocational apprenticeship. After graduating from a university of applied sciences, they are now working in a management position. The campaign was launched with the delegates' meeting of the umbrella association of UAS graduates on March 9, 2018. As part of its 15th anniversary, UAS Switzerland made part of the event open to all interested parties. Over 150 participants exchanged views with the ambassadors at the Lucerne Exhibition Center (including Brigitte Breisacher, Company Manager Alpnach Norm-Schrankelemente and Stefan Schulthess, Director Schifffahrtsgesellschaft des Vierwaldstättersees).
UAS Switzerland as official education partner of SwissSkills
From 12 to 16 September, various UAS ambassadors and UAS guides will also be involved in SwissSkills 2018. At the "Treffpunkt Formation", a meeting platform for teachers and career advisors, proven leaders with their own VET path will offer guided tours. They will report on their experiences and create a very personal, direct approach to the occupational profiles and the associated requirements on site. With all measures within the framework of the campaign "From apprentice to boss", FH Switzerland is committed to promoting the dual education pathway. The campaign is supported by the FH Switzerland Foundation.
