Weiterbildung in der Schweiz

Our country profile offers an initial orientation regarding the specifics of further education in Switzerland. The volume, which is published in its third edition from the series "Country Profiles of the German Institute for Adult Education (Deutsches Institut für Erwachsenenbildung - DIE)", offers information about changes in the Swiss vocational further education landscape and introduces the new Further Education Act (WeBiG) dated June 2014. A historical overview of the development of adult education and a chapter on trends and perspectives in Swiss vocational further education round off the offering. The comprehensive service part offers a great basis for further research. The country profiles provided by DIE offer information about the infrastructures for further education in the relevant country and create a basis of information for vocational further education actors in the areas of academics, practice and administration.
