Content of practicum

Your working time is going to be Monday to Friday around 7.30 am to 4.30 pm. You are going to receive a detailed program before your practicum start.

Please note that on Friday just before the practicum starts there is going to be an introduction meeting at the school so make sure you arrive in Switzerland on Thursday before practicum at the latest (practicum always starts on Monday).

Commitment

-  To be interested and take part in the Swiss culture, spending time with the buddies and guest families is expected.
