Erhalte ich finanzielle Unterstützung für eine Akademie-Weiterbildung?
Do I receive financial support for continuing education, further training at the Academy?
If you are interested in training or continuing education, further training at an academy or other educational institution, there are various financial support options available to you. The first is support from your current employer, who can benefit from your continuing education, provided that you would like to continue your education in your current field of work or in a field that builds on it and that you intend to stay with your current company. In this case, you should definitely discuss your further training intentions with your employer and present your request to them. On the other hand, in some industries and when there is a shortage of skilled workers, you can also expect a financial subsidy from your future employer if you want to change jobs after continuing education, further training. Some employers offer training programs for junior specialists or managers who are interested in and committed to working for the company. If you have financial constraints, scholarships are also very suitable for attending an academy and continuing your education. These are awarded by private and public foundations, which you can find out about from the education department of your canton. Educational loans are also possible, but have the disadvantage that you have to repay them in part or in full within a predetermined period of time. You can also obtain information on this from your municipality or canton.
