This program is for youths between the ages of 18 and 30 who have a post-secondary diploma or certificate from an institute of technology or equivalent educational institute or who are graduates of a university or community college. This program offers applicants the opportunity to work in term employment for a period of four to 18 months. Jobs start at various times throughout the year, based on employer needs.
Positions depend upon the opportunities identified.
While working in this program, youths earn a wage, which depends upon the position obtained. Wages must be equivalent to the going rate and conditions a young Swiss would obtain in the same circumstances. Applicants are responsible for making their own travel and living arrangements and the associated costs unless otherwise agreed with the employer. There is a fee charged for this. Candidates should allow up to six months for an employment search.
