‘Switzerland’s vocational and professional education and training system owes its recognised success to the partnership between the Confederation, the cantons and professional organisations. At the same time, this system must continue to evolve and innovate in order to meet the many challenges of the future and satisfy the needs of the economy and the labour market. To this end, it can rely on an the SFUVET that reinforces the competences of all stakeholders, supports them in their thinking and activities and, through applied research, brings added value to the entire VPET system.’
