Reloc’coffee - Diploma and Skills Recognition in Switzerland

Having a degree and professional experience is a great asset, but understanding how they are valued in Switzerland can sometimes be challenging. Is it necessary to have your diploma formally recognized? Which professions require official recognition? What options are available if recognition is not possible? 

Join us for this event dedicated to diploma and skills recognition, where experts from Association Découvrir will explain how the Swiss recognition system works and share practical advice for navigating the process. The session will also explore alternative ways to highlight your qualifications, transferable skills and professional experience when formal recognition cannot be obtained.

Whether you are just starting your job search or already applying for positions in the canton of Vaud, this event will help you better understand how to position your profile and make the most of your skills on the Swiss labour market. The presentation will be followed by a personal testimonial from Chao Fang, a Chinese professional with an international background, who will share her job search journey, the challenges she encountered, and the key lessons that helped her successfully build her career in Switzerland.
