We train apprentices as IT specialists in platform development at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur. You will work in a team that deals with the software and hardware concerns of the employees.

You will install devices for users, provide support, and maintain servers and networks. You will participate in application development projects, determine requirements, program, create test concepts, and implement data models in a database. You will work closely with external partners, customers, and suppliers.

Our basic attitude in your training

• We strive for a learning environment characterised by mutual respect, tolerance, and openness.
• We offer you space to assume your role as an apprentice IT specialist.
• We enable various learning forms that promote individual, holistic, and self-directed learning.
• We have clear regulations; we define the scope of action together.
• You learn through practical work and reflection, systematically using leadership and training tools.
• We see learning in practice as a continuous and building process.
• Through differentiated, constructive, and justified feedback, we achieve learning success together and promote your transfer thinking – from theory to practice.
• We support you in taking the greatest possible responsibility.

Key points of your training

Your apprenticeship lasts 4 years and takes place over three learning fields:

• School education in compulsory lessons takes place two days a week at the Vocational School (GBC) in Chur.
• Inter-company courses (ÜK) support your learning success by imparting basic and industry-specific skills.
• The professional learning fields are provided at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur.

We support you if you aim to obtain the vocational baccalaureate (BM) during your apprenticeship. Please inform us of your interest in your application.

During vocational training, you have five weeks of holiday per year. Due to our working time model, you work one week in advance and receive this as an additional week of holiday – so it is six weeks.

Our requirements for you

• You are a curious and eager learner
• You have a quick grasp, are committed and motivated
• You have very good performance in scientific, mathematical, and language school subjects
• You are a team player and communicative
• You have logical-abstract thinking skills
• You have a structured and systematic way of working

Perspectives after your apprenticeship

After completing your apprenticeship, you work as an IT specialist or pursue the professional examination to become an ICT platform developer, ICT system and network technician, or business informatics specialist.

You can also take the higher professional examination to become a certified ICT manager.

The higher technical college offers you further training opportunities to become a business informatics specialist HF or a technician HF in IT.

At the university of applied sciences, you can study for a Bachelor of Science (FH) in Computer Science and Business Informatics.

Selection procedure

After reviewing your application, you will be informed about the selection decision. If you are shortlisted, the training manager will arrange an interview and selection days. During the selection days, you gain insight into everyday work, and we get to know each other better. The selection days are organised by us and take place at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur or the Beverin Clinic in Cazis.

The hiring decision is made by at least two people, usually the training manager and the department head.

Your advantages at a glance

We offer you a vocational training tailored to you. At PDGR, we generally train all apprentices at the Federal VET Diploma (EFZ) level.

Training for the Federal VET Certificate (EBA) is possible depending on prerequisites and in certain professions after consultation with the education department.

We support you if you aim to obtain the vocational baccalaureate (BM) during your apprenticeship. Please inform us of your interest in your application.

As a competitive athlete, we enable you, in consultation with the Office for Vocational Training and your sports association/club, to have special training conditions to create an ideal combination between vocational training and competitive sport. During the preliminary clarification, we carefully check whether your sport is compatible with your chosen apprenticeship and training goals.- show less

All our apprentices receive 5 weeks of holiday per year. If you work the 43-hour week model, you even get 5 additional days off (compensation days). These are worked in advance throughout the year within the 43-hour week.- show less

At the introductory days in August, you meet all new apprentices at the Beverin Clinic in Cazis. After a welcome by Josef Müller, CEO, you get first insights into PDGR and receive job-specific information about your apprenticeship start. The day ends with a joint aperitif, attended by your trainer. Your parents and relatives are of course also invited.

The next two days, all new apprentices spend together. We work on various topics in workshops to prepare you for the start of your apprenticeship.- show less

Out of everyday life – the apprentice day is the annual highlight for our apprentices. Once a year, you meet all apprentices for a joint activity. Gold panning in the Surselva, planting fir trees with WWF in Prättigau, or visiting the RhB workshops in Landquart are examples from past apprentice days.

The day promotes exchange among apprentices from different professions and offers you a cross-professional experience.- show less

Each profession has industry-standard apprentice wages. Would you like a little more? We value our youngest employees and are happy to pay our apprentices a little extra so they can manage well with their first income. In addition, there is a 13th monthly salary. There are also allowances for work on Sundays and evenings, for example as a health specialist – always within the framework of youth protection.

Tips for your budget planning can be found here.- show less

We strive to provide apprentices with a varied and well-supported apprenticeship in all areas and professions. As a company with over 1,200 employees, we use our diverse opportunities. This allows us to give our apprentices insights into different areas and they can complete parts of their apprenticeship at different locations.- show less

No matter the profession – you are part of the PDGR team and work with different employees and professions.

"Community" is one of our core values: Everyone contributes with their individuality and works constructively with other professions – this is how we move forward. Your ideas and opinions are also desired and welcome.

Workday and collaboration

In your workday and private life, much exciting, new, unexpected, and challenging happens – much of it for the first time. In the person of your trainer, supervisor, or training manager, you always have a contact person. Talk about things that burden, overwhelm, or hinder you. Together we look for solutions and help you.

If you cannot manage alone or with your environment, sometimes talking to an external specialist helps. For this, we have an independent counselling service available to employees – neutral, anonymous, and free of charge.

Learning and succeeding at the three learning locations

Difficulties at school, in the ÜK, or in practical learning? We are happy to support our apprentices individually with their personal challenges during the apprenticeship. We encourage attending support courses or other offers from your vocational school.
