Swisscontact’s Perspectives program enables qualified young professionals with a university degree from Tunisia to work in Swiss companies for up to 18 months. In this way, companies can easily benefit from urgently needed specialists, e.g. in IT, technology, the hotel industry or architecture.
The shortage of qualified specialists poses major challenges for many Swiss companies. The Perspectives program, initiated by Swisscontact in cooperation with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM), offers an innovative solution: It enables young, well-trained professionals from Tunisia to gain work experience in Switzerland for up to 18 months - without cantonal quotas or job registration requirements.
The offer is aimed at university graduates or people with at least two years of vocational training aged between 18 and 35. The so-called L permits are issued directly by the SEM and apply to all sectors - from engineering and architecture to IT. Swisscontact supports Swiss companies in the selection of suitable candidates and accompanies them through the entire process: from recruitment and visa application to arrival and integration in Switzerland.
Perspectives offers real added value to companies that have difficulty finding suitable specialists, for example. The young talents not only bring up-to-date know-how with them, but also enrich the companies with their intercultural skills and high motivation.
The program currently runs until 2026 with the option to extend. Since its launch, around 200 young Tunisians have already gained valuable work experience in Switzerland - a win-win situation for both sides.
