Your advantages at a glance

Your suitable education with us We offer you a vocational training tailored to you. In the PDGR, we basically train all vocational apprentices at the Swiss Federal Certificate of Ability (EFZ).

Training for the Swiss Federal Vocational Certificate (EBA) is possible depending on the prerequisites and in certain professions after consultation with the field of education.

We support you if you strive for the Berufsmaturität (BM) during your apprenticeship. Tell us your interest with the application.

As a competitive athlete, we provide you with special teaching conditions after consultation with the Office for Vocational Education and Training and your Sports Federation / Sports Club in order to create an ideal combination between vocational training and competitive sport. In the preliminary clarification, we take a good look at whether your sport is compatible with your chosen apprenticeship and the training goals.

5 weeks of vacation + 1 All our learners receive 5 weeks of holiday per year. If you work in the model of the 43-hour week, you even get 5 free days (compensation days). These are prepared during the 43-hour week throughout the year.

Introduction dates On the introductory days in August you will meet with all new learners at the clinic Beverin in Cazis. After the welcome by Josef Müller, CEO, you will get first insights into the PDGR and get job-specific information about your start of your apprenticeship. The day is rounded off with a joint aperitif in which your vocational trainer participates. Your parents and relatives are also invited.

The next two days all new learners spend together. We work on various topics in workshops so that you are ready to start your teaching.

Apprenticeship Day Get out of everyday life – the apprenticeship day is the annual highlight of our learners. Once a year you meet with all learners for a common activity. Washing gold in Surselva, planting Tannen together with the WWF in the Prättigau or visiting the RhB workshops in Landquart are examples of the past apprenticeship days.

The day promotes the common exchange among the learners of the different professional groups and enables you to have an inter-professional experience.

Wages In every profession, there are industry-standard apprentice wages. Can it be a little more? We appreciate the value of our youngest employees and also like to pay our learners a little more so that they get along well with the first income. There is also a 13th month wage. In addition, there are allowances for missions on Sundays and evenings, for example as a specialist health – of course always within the framework of the protection of minors.

Tips for your budget planning can be found here.

View of different areas / locations We strive to provide learners in all areas and professions with a varied and well-accompanied teaching. As a company with more than 1,200 employees, we use our many opportunities. In this way, we can provide our learners with insights into different areas and they can complete parts of their apprenticeship at different locations.

Support Everyday work and cooperation

In your day-to-day work and in your private life, there is a lot of exciting, new, unexpected, challenging happening – much of it for the first time. In the person of your vocational trainer, your supervisor or your training manager, you always have a contact person. Talk about things that burden, overwhelm or hinder you. Together we look for solutions and help you.

Are you unable to move forward alone or with your surroundings? Then sometimes the conversation with an outside expert helps. For this, we have an independent consulting offer for employees that is available to you – neutral, anonymous and free of charge.

Learning and succeeding at the three learning locations

Difficulties at school, at the UK or in practical learning? We are happy to support our learners individually in their personal challenges during teaching. We encourage you to attend support courses or other offers from your vocational school.
