Service-oriented - Die Schweizerische Post

With its commitment to the Swiss Youth
Symphony Orchestra, it expanded its
work of promoting talented young musicians.
PostFinance is committed to
promoting young talent in the long term.
Swiss Post is a sponsor of the Museum for
Communication in Berne and the principal
sponsor of the Geneva book fair,
“Salon International du Livre et de la
Presse”. The international Film Festival of
Locarno – the biggest cinematic event
in Switzerland – and the Solothurn Film
Festival – a forum for Swiss film – have
been supported by Swiss Post for years.
There are 1,429 trainees at Swiss Post.
The Vocational College of Administration
in Berne offers a “Learning and Sports”
apprenticeship that lasts four years instead
of three and which qualifies the
participants to become commercial employees.
The extended study period
means that around 25 percent of the
working time is devoted to sports activities
such as training, competitions, tournaments,
training camps and regeneration.
Four Swiss Post trainees are currently
participating in a “Learning and Sports”
apprenticeship. This commitment demonstrates
that Swiss Post is also an attractive
employer for professional athletes and
that it is possible to combine a job with
training and sports.
The Swiss Post Switzerland Sports and
Culture Association is an association of
110 sports and culture associations of
Swiss Post and Swisscom with over 8.000
members, most of whom work at Swiss
Post and Swisscom. It organizes 25
national and various regional events in
the fields of sports and culture each year.
Swiss Post as a socially responsible employer
thus offers its employees a platform
for a variety of sports for private
activities.
