Socially committed and progressive

SFUVET sees itself as a socially committed institution and a progressive employer. This requires us to shoulder certain obligations.

• Inclusion: SFUVET hires professionals with impairments, ensuring that they find a working environment that is as barrier-free as possible. This commitment earned our institution the iPunkt label from the Impulse Association, which renewed our certification in 2021.
• Case management: In 2020, SFUVET established an independent care unit to help employees cope with work- or health-related issues. All employees who received case management support in 2021 were able to return to work. No relapses were reported.
• Workplace training: For SFUVET, it goes without saying that we train apprentices enrolled in VET programmes for commercial employees, mediamatics technicians and IT specialists. In 2021, apprentices accounted for 5.8 % of total SFUVET staff. Three of these apprentices completed their training last year. Lena Albergati, a newly graduated commercial employee, was recognised for having obtained the best score on both the vocational baccalaureate and workplace training examinations.
• National Future Day: SFUVET also took part in the national Future Day in 2021. Despite the pandemic, young people were given the opportunity to accompany a SFUVET employee at her/his workplace for a day and thus gain insight into working conditions. SFUVET was also involved in the special project 'A day as the boss' as part of the Future Day: four teenage girls observed the work of several of SFUVET’s female managers.
