Explore Swiss Apprenticeship Excellence in a new four-day course

From 16 to 19 September 2024, the Swiss Federal University for Vocational Education and Training (SFUVET) will provide participants with a thorough understanding of Switzerland’s acclaimed Vocational Education and Training (VET) system through the course, “Skills in Switzerland: Exploring Apprenticeship Excellence.”
