Twelve young Italian nursing professionals have embarked on a new career path in Lucerne, Switzerland. They are part of a pilot program that includes both linguistic and professional qualification training. As part of the program, participants will complete a 700-hour language course to achieve a B2 level in German.
To further enhance their language and professional skills, they will work at 60% capacity in one of the clinics in Central Switzerland from May to October 2025. Starting in November 2025, they are expected to begin working full-time. The recognition of their Italian qualifications will be facilitated by the Swiss Red Cross.
As IB, together with our international cooperation partners, we are committed to fair recruitment practices and actively support professionals throughout this process. We work closely with participants in our programs to ensure a smooth transition into their new roles. In line with our core principles, we remain dedicated to create new opportunities and fostering professional growth.
We wish the new nurses from Italy great success in achieving their goals in Switzerland!
