What are my salary prospects after completing an apprenticeship/continuing education, further training? How much more will I earn?

Continuing education is important in order to maintain or increase one's professional attractiveness on the job market and thus be able to hold one's own against the competition in the long term. The Swiss education system offers unique continuing education opportunities worldwide.

Initial and continuing education, such as federal examinations (Federal Professional Examination (AFPE)), provide in-depth knowledge and skills in the respective subject. Federal Diplomas of Higher Education qualify you to take on responsibility for demanding tasks and perform initial management functions, for example as a team leader.

In addition to the professional attractiveness already mentioned, you will also increase your chances of a pay rise.There is hardly any investment that is more worthwhile than education!

It should be noted at this point that salary and salary development depend on numerous different criteria. The industry, the region, the employer, the size of the company, previous education, work experience and age all play a decisive role in wage development.
