'LIFT Züri' provides better opportunities in search for apprenticeships
'LIFT Züri' has provided school pupils requiring extra career guidance with the opportunity to undertake regular work placements at companies and to gain valuable experience in the world of work. The evaluation took account of target attainment, the determination of success factors, optimisation potential and acceptance of the project by participants and the parties involved.
'LIFT Züri' provides school pupils in the city of Zurich requiring extra career guidance with the opportunity to undertake 2 x 12 placements at private sector companies, municipal institutions or charitable organisations. In return, they receive small remuneration of 5 Swiss francs an hour and an assessment report at the end of the placement. The companies provide them with a workplace for 12 placements with supervision. These weekly workplaces will be acquired and managed by the career centre on behalf of the education authority. The career centre also arranges the company placements for pupils. At school, the pupils receive support of 90 minutes a week for 12 months from the 'LIFT Züri' module supervisor.
