“Ten years from now I still see myself working as a deputy team leader at Swiss Post because I enjoy my role so much. The apprentices have lots of opportunities during and after their training. To encourage employees to take development opportunities, Swiss Post bears part of the training costs. Unfortunately, not all apprentices are fortunate enough to obtain a full-time position with us after their training. They should be retained as they are much more efficient than someone from outside who does not bring any knowledge with them.”

“You can go far at Swiss Post by showing desire and motivation. I joined as a temporary employee to change career path after completing my apprenticeship in carpentry and my military service. I’m now on the two-year junior management programme and am part-time studying for a business administration degree at a higher technical school. I’ve got my sights set on a clear goal – I see myself in a challenging management position at Swiss Post. There’s a healthy mix of ages with people from lots of different countries at our site. These mixed teams create a culture of openness and are a key success factor.”
