According to the Federal Office of Statistics, at the end of 2020 43% of staff in Switzerland had a university degree compared to just 28% in other sectors of the economy. These same statistics also reveal that 23% of the workforce joined the banking sector after taking a course of basic professional training. This proves that there is more than one gateway for access to jobs in the financial sector.
In order to present the high diversity of careers in finance & banking, the GFC participates in events and develops materials for HR and training managers, bank staff wishing to undertake further training, and anyone else who is interested in pursuing a career in banking.
