The networked approach to providing work-based training positions for apprentices is ideal for companies that are not familiar with Switzerland's upper-secondary level VET (Vocational Education and Training) sector. Companies that join the ZBV host company network in order to develop young staff can count on comprehensive support and reduced training workload.

The ZBV (Zuger Berufsbildungs-Verbund), was founded by the Cantonal authorities 1998 in order to develop  more apprenticeship training positions in the Zug area.

Vocational Education and Training: Swiss VET sector apprenticeships expose young people to real working conditions as part of their training.
