Labour Exchanges across Canton Zürich are reporting increasing numbers of highly-qualified jobseekers among their clients. Those aged 45 to 50 are already spending longer in unemployment than their younger counterparts. Four out of five jobs are never advertised and are generally filled via personal contact.

The Labour Exchanges in Canton Zurich have responded with an innovation aimed at bridging the gap for these mature candidates. Senior managers, specialists and experienced professionals have been invited to help the highly-qualified and experienced potential recruits to find employment in their sector.

The mentoring programme complements the Labour Exchanges’ core offer of guidance, courses and coaching to improve a candidate’s job applications. // Show less
