Back in 2019, we sat in a cramped Zürich apartment wondering if career change was even possible after thirty. The traditional advice felt hollow — most programs promised outcomes but taught outdated methods. So we built something different. Not a guarantee machine, but a realistic bridge between where people are and where they want to be.
Six years later, we work with professionals across Switzerland who need practical career development support without the fluff. Real skills. Real timelines. Real conversations about what actually works in 2025's job market.
Our founder spent twelve years in corporate HR before realizing something crucial: most career advice assumes everyone starts from the same place. They don't. A parent returning to work needs different support than a recent graduate. Someone in Chur faces different challenges than someone in Geneva.
We started teaching small workshops in 2020, right when the world turned upside down. Those early sessions taught us more than any textbook could — people need flexible paths, not rigid programs. They need honest timelines, not hype. And they definitely need support that acknowledges life exists outside career ambitions.
By 2022, we'd helped about fifty people navigate career shifts. Some took six months. Others needed two years. That variance became our philosophy: career development works on human timelines, not marketing schedules. Our autumn 2025 cohort reflects this — designed for people who can commit to growth but need realistic pacing.
No secret formulas or revolutionary breakthroughs. Just three principles we've refined over hundreds of conversations with people navigating career transitions in Switzerland's unique market.
Your background matters more than our curriculum. We adjust methods based on industry, location, and personal circumstances. Someone pivoting from finance needs different support than someone entering tech. We start by understanding your specific situation — then build from there.
Career shifts take longer than most programs admit. Our programs run 9-14 months because that's what actually works. You'll see progress within weeks, but sustainable change needs time. We'd rather set honest expectations than create false urgency.
Technical abilities mean nothing without knowing how to position them. We teach both — the practical skills employers want and the strategic thinking that helps you stand out. You'll leave with capabilities and the confidence to use them effectively.
Career Development Lead
"I've done this transition myself — from pharmaceutical sales to career coaching. That awkward middle phase where you're learning but not yet confident? I remember it clearly. My job is making that phase shorter and less overwhelming for you."
Program Strategy Director
"After ten years designing corporate training, I got tired of programs that looked impressive but delivered little. Here, we strip away anything that doesn't serve the person in front of us. If a method doesn't work, we change it — simple as that."
