Wide support from employers for continuing education and training in 2021
Neuchâtel, 23.01.2024 - In 2021, 49% of employed persons aged 25 to 64 in Switzerland took part in at least one continuing education and training course for professional purposes. Of these people, 93% received support from their employer, either in terms of time allocated during working hours or funding. This support was mainly influenced by factors relating to the professional context, such as work-time percentage, number of years' service in the company or the size of the company. These are some of the findings from a new publication from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
