Career Re-entry in Switzerland: Opportunities, Trends & Employer Insights

27. October 2026, 9:30 – 10:30

Returning to the Swiss labour market after a career break can raise many questions. Where are the opportunities? How open are employers to returners? Which skills are in demand? And what can you realistically do to position yourself for a successful return?

Join Evelin Bermudez, founder of ReturnersWork and President of the Companies & Returnships Network, for an interactive one-hour Virtual Talk exploring the career re-entry landscape in German-speaking Switzerland.

Drawing on her continued work and exchanges with employers, policymakers and returners, Evelin will share insights from what she is seeing on the ground: where opportunities exist, where barriers persist, what employers are looking for, and what returners should realistically keep in mind when navigating the Swiss labour market.

During the session, we will explore:

• What types of career re-entry opportunities exist in German-speaking Switzerland?
• How open are employers to professionals with career breaks?
• What Where are skills shortages creating potential opportunities?
• What are employers looking for, and which skills are particularly relevant?
• What structural barriers continue to affect career re-entry?
• What can returners do to position themselves effectively?

This is a Virtual Talk rather than a traditional webinar. The session is designed to be interactive, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and connect with others navigating a similar transition.

Date & Time: 27. October 2026, 9:30m – 10:30

Cost: CHF 10:00

Language: English

Please note: This session is primarily intended for those who did not participate in our previous Virtual Talk on this topic. If you attended the previous session, some of the core information will be familiar, as many aspects of the Swiss career re-entry landscape remain unchanged.
