Journalistic concept

Career-boosting education

The half-yearly focus «Further education» is curated, conceived and produced by the editorial team with the support of eminent specialist journalists. This time, the Focus examines the question of how further training can boost your own career. If you are motivated to develop your career, move up in the company or completely reorient yourself, it is important to acquire or further develop the necessary abilities and skills. But how do I find exactly the courses and training programmes that suit me and help me progress? Which sectors and professions open up interesting prospects – beyond the day-to-day?

The Focus presents the most important trends and developments, analyses the employment and training market and provides useful tips for career planning.

Experts have their say in the journalistically independent content. However, companies and organisations can write their own guest contributions. Focus editions in the «Neue Zürcher Zeitung» or in the «NZZ am Sonntag» are not the work of the editorial team, but of our in-house service provider for journalistic storytelling: NZZ Content Creation.
