Your advantages at a glance

Your right apprenticeship with us We offer you vocational training tailored to your needs. In the PDGR, we basically train all apprenticeships at the Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ) level.

Training to become a Federal Vocational Certificate (EBA) is possible depending on the requirements and in certain professions after consultation with the Education Department.

We will support you if you are aiming for the vocational baccalaureate (BM) during your apprenticeship. Let us know your interest with your application.

As a competitive athlete, we provide you with special apprenticeship conditions after consultation with the Office for Vocational Education and Training and your sports association / sports club in order to create an ideal combination of vocational training and competitive sports. During the preliminary clarification, we take a close look at whether your sport is compatible with your chosen apprenticeship and training goals.

5 weeks vacation + 1 All our apprentices take 5 weeks of vacation per year. If you work in the 43-hour week model, you even get 5 days off (compensation days). These are worked in advance throughout the year as part of the 43-hour week.

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

All new apprentices spend the next two days together. We work on various topics in workshops so that you are ready to start your apprenticeship.

Apprentice Day Get out of everyday life – the Apprentice Day is the annual highlight of our apprentices. Once a year, you meet with all the apprentices for a joint activity. Gold panning in the Surselva, planting fir trees together with the WWF in Prättigau or visiting the RhB workshops in Landquart are examples of past apprentice days.

The day promotes joint exchange among the apprentices of the various professional groups and enables you to have a cross-professional experience.

Salary In every profession, there are apprentice wages that are customary in the industry. Would you like a little more? We appreciate the value of our youngest employees and are also happy to pay our apprentices a little more so that they can get by well with their first income. There is also a 13th month's salary. In addition, there are bonuses for assignments on Sundays and evenings, for example as a health specialist – of course always within the framework of youth protection.

Insight into different areas / locations We strive to provide apprentices with varied and well-supervised apprenticeships in all areas and professions. As a company with over 1,200 employees, we take advantage of our wide range of opportunities. This allows us to give our apprentices insights into different areas and they can complete parts of their apprenticeship at different locations.

Support Everyday work and collaboration

A lot of exciting, new, unexpected, challenging things happen in your everyday work and in your private life – many of them 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 stuck on your own or with your environment? Then sometimes talking to an outside specialist helps. For this purpose, we have an independent advisory service for employees that is available to you - neutral, anonymous and free of charge.

Learning and being successful at the three learning locations

Difficulties at school, in the ÜK or in practical learning? We are happy to support our apprentices individually in their personal challenges during their apprenticeship. We encourage them to attend remedial courses or other offers at your vocational school.
