So a lot of companies make to their apprentices

Almost two-thirds of the companies in Switzerland to benefit financially from the apprenticeship. On average, the net is make good use of 3200 francs per year of the apprenticeship. This results in a new Online survey of the Federal Institute for vocational education and training. It has consulted on behalf of the Federal government, thousands of training companies and non-training companies and compared.

companies that employ learners, have a financial effort. You have to pay additional wages and have to cope with, among other things, costs for clothing, Material or training courses. On the other hand, your learners productive perform services for the company's value and the investments in the ideal case compensate for. If this is the case, depends mainly on the duration of the training, as well as the industry and the profession.

A particularly favorable cost-Benefit ratio of the apprenticeship with Swiss Federal vocational certificate (EBA). The two-year training brings an average of around 10'000 Swiss francs per apprentice. In the case of a three-year apprenticeship with Federal certificate of proficiency (EFZ) benefits operating even a little more. In the case of the four-year EVS-teaching, however, he pays it in the first two years, which is why in the end, only well-8600 Swiss francs net result use.

Tend to be learners for smaller companies with up to fifty employees are more profitable than for large companies, the increased expenditure for the training can afford. In addition to the size of the Region plays a role. In Eastern Switzerland and the lake Geneva region, the net benefit is significantly larger than, for example, in Zurich, Switzerland. However, the variance within regions is large.

learning at the end of 40'000 francs in profit, or 20'000 Swiss francs for loss up to.

Meaningful differences according to industry and occupation. In the construction industry, the financial Benefit is significantly higher than, for example, in the administration or the industry, because the learners are more productive. Here, you can do quick tasks, which would otherwise be taken over by unskilled workers.

Between the Professions, the differences are considerable. With an office assistant or an office assistant, a company earns an average of 18'000 Swiss francs, because the training costs are low and the students are quick to use. For kitchen employees, which also make a two-year EBA doctrine, are for the businesses, however, a financial loss of business.

the most common three-year EV-training, there are professions in which learners for the companies are profitable, and those where you have to bring more costs than. Painters, plumbers and Hairdressers to generate a net benefit of over 20'000 Swiss francs. On the other side of the scale, bricklayers, chefs and Hotel professionals, where the services, the costs of training can't make up for are.

in Particularly large embodiments of the differences in four-year EV -. While an Electric plumber until the end of their teaching brings over 40'000 Swiss francs, to generate a computer scientist more than 20'000 Swiss francs loss. Other technical occupations such as mechanics require just the beginning of teaching a relatively high training effort, often with the aid of expensive devices. In addition, the learners are still relatively little productive.

In most cases, the companies benefit from their apprentices. More than three-quarters of the companies surveyed were very or rather satisfied with the cost-Benefit ratio. Extrapolated to all companies in Switzerland that offer an education earned in the year 2016/17, around 566 million Swiss francs. This underlines the economic importance of apprenticeship training in Switzerland.

A point to be criticized in the survey, but still: that learning are used increasingly for Work that would otherwise be done by unskilled employees. "This development is not desirable in terms of education policy and must be monitored more closely," writes the Federal University Institute for vocational education and training. Learners should already be practicing in the training activities that you can apply later as a professional.
