The Swiss careers service website provides young people abroad with a good opportunity to obtain key information without having to travel to Switzerland. You can, of course, also visit the cantonal careers information centres (BIZ) in Switzerland, which are known as information desks in some cantons. With their libraries and information desks, these advisory centres provide a wide range of information on all careers, courses of study and further training and education. Consultations are also available. Advance registration is usually required.

In cooperation with the BIZ, Educationsuisse is providing personal consultations in the Bern-Mittelland region. These are carried out by qualified BIZ experts and can be conducted via Skype or at their premises in Berne. Individual questions can be answered in personal discussions with an advisor.
