Work

Whether it's about career choices or health protection in the workplace, there is a lot of information available. One important thing is to protect underprivileged groups from discrimination.

Rights and obligations

Employees are bound by various labor law obligations and have specific rights that apply to everyone. Refugees and migrants have the right to work but must comply with specific legal regulations depending on their residency status.

Recognition of foreign diplomas

If you want to work or study in Switzerland, you need to have your foreign qualifications recognised. Some qualifications are not recognised in Switzerland.

Education & studies

It is crucial that people with a migration background are not just integrated into the first labor market, but supported according to their individual skills and qualifications. This not only enables fairer and more effective use of the workforce but also promotes overall economic development. Access to education is key, as it opens up opportunities and improves long-term career prospects. By focusing on the potential of people with a migration background, a more diverse and inclusive society can be created, benefiting from a wide range of talents and perspectives.
