Gain initial work experience in Switzerland

On the farm

The sound of cowbells and the smell of hay… helping out on a farm is fun and an experience for life. The Agriviva association arranges placements lasting several weeks for young people up to the age of 25 from all over the world. In return for free board and lodging and a small amount of pocket money, you help a farming family with their daily work. More detailed information on Agriviva can be found at www.agriviva.ch or by sending an email to info@agriviva.ch.

Teaching at a school

Young students or recent graduates from countries where English, German, French, Spanish or Italian is the official national language can gain experience in the teaching profession. As native speakers they bring added value to language lessons at upper secondary schools or vocational schools and pass on the culture of their country of residence. Language assistants receive a salary which covers their living costs in Switzerland. The application period for the school year 2024/25 runs until the end of March 2024 or by agreement.
