Vocational education and training

The Swiss VET (vocational education and training) system provides young people with an initial foothold in the job market. The dual system of vocational education and training (apprenticeship), which combines learning in the workplace and in a vocational school, provides a direct link to the world of work. The types of education and training offered are geared to actual demand for vocational qualifications and to the jobs that are available.
