Exchange in upper secondary specialised school
Pupils at a specialised secondary school can do their compulsory traineeship in Switzerland or abroad. This not only gives them their first work experience, but also helps them develop their language skills and personal development.
What it's all about
During a traineeship in Switzerland or abroad, students from the Fachhochschule live locally, either alone or as a group. They not only acquire practical professional skills, but also practise interacting with people from a different cultural background. Language skills are also promoted through additional language courses. A plus for any CV! The technical college in Switzerland plans the stay and looks after the participants accordingly.
