Capacity’s Programme for highly qualified people with refugee or migrant background who are looking for a job in Switzerland

Why is this investment worthwhile for participants?

The Access Fast Track Programme is a powerful investment in your long-term professional future in Switzerland. It helps you overcome the barriers internationally trained professionals often face and gives you what you cannot access alone: workshops, personalised coaching, direct exposure to employers, targeted strategies, and a strong community.

You benefit from:

  • Faster access to qualified jobs: Around 50% of alumni find work within six months, and up to 60% within two years — at their skill level
  • Real entry into the Swiss job market: You meet established professionals, hiring managers, HR experts and industry professionals who offer insights, coaching and networking that open doors
  • 1:1 guidance: Talent Coaches help you strengthen your strategy
  • A supportive community: You grow within a caring peer and professional network
  • A high return on investment: Your CHF 500 fee is only a small share of the programme’s true value, co-funded by various supporters. Most graduates recover this investment with their first month’s salary

This programme is not just training — it is a proven stepping stone toward financial independence, professional belonging and a sustainable career in Switzerland.

What’s important to us:
No one should be excluded for financial reasons. If the participation fee is currently a challenge for you, please contact us – we will work together to find a solution so you can take part in the programme.

Jobseekers supported since 2022

One in every two participants finds a job aligned with their qualifications within the first 6 months after programme completion.

After 2 years, 60% have found a job that matches their qualifications and 80% have achieved a sustainable pathway such as employment, self-employment, or further education.

Why is this investment worthwhile for social services?

Supporting a client’s participation is a cost-effective, high-impact integration measure that strengthens long-term employment and reduces future social assistance needs.

Social services benefit from:

  • Proven labour-market results: Around 50% of participants enter qualified employment within six months, rising to 60% within two years
  • Significant public cost savings: Stable employment quickly offsets the contribution through reduced long-term social assistance and support costs
  • Alignment with IAS/KIP goals: The programme directly fulfils federal priorities for sustainable employment and equal labour-market access for refugees and migrants
  • Improved well-being and stability: Participants gain networks, confidence, and a sense of belonging — reducing vulnerability and increasing long-term resilience.

Thanks to strong co-financing from companies, public institutions, foundations, and other supporters, social services cover only a portion of the total programme cost, making this a highly efficient integration measure. Social Services representatives, please contact Caterina Meier-Pfister for more information.
