Transatlantic Talent Strategies: Swiss Insights for America’s Re-skilling Moment

Join Jobs for the Future (JFF), the Swiss Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation (SERI), and WEF partners at the House of Switzerland for a high-level briefing on how Switzerland’s talent development system—widely regarded as a global gold standard—has propelled the country’s economic dynamism and prepared its workforce for an AI-driven economy. Discover how Switzerland’s dual education and apprenticeship pathways—built on employer leadership, permeability, and “no dead ends”—deliver exceptional outcomes in equity, mobility, and workforce readiness. This session aligns directly with the WEF Reskilling Revolution and offers actionable insights for U.S. leaders shaping the future of work.
