From a Switzerland-wide company survey of over 800 recruitment managers, recently conducted for the first time, it emerges that the diplomas and titles from “higher vocational and professional education and training” (höhere Berufsbildung, HBB) enjoy a high status on the Swiss labour market today and are well established. What the survey also shows, however, is that continuous work on positioning must be done if HBB is to remain attractive amid the rising trend towards academic qualifications (academicisation) in the world of work. Key findings of the study are presented in the article.
