At the Beverin Clinic in Cazis, we train apprentices as specialists in hotel and housekeeping services with a focus on housekeeping. Our hotel services provide services for patients, clients, employees, and visitors in catering, cleaning, laundry services, room management, and waste disposal.

During your training, you will work in the hotel services. This means working in the cafeteria, kitchen, laundry services, and room care/room management. You will learn the competent organisation of processes in the housekeeping work environment. Specialists in hotel and housekeeping services organise cleaning with suitable aids and coordinate their deployment to ensure an appealing appearance of the company. You will acquire skills in decorating and setting tables for events, customer contact in cafeterias, food preparation, and responding to customer wishes during your training period.

Our approach 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 specialist in hotel and housekeeping services.
• 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 progressive process.
• Through differentiated, constructive, and justified feedback, we achieve learning success together and promote your transfer thinking – from theory to practice.

Key points of your training

Your apprenticeship lasts 3 years and takes place over three learning fields:

• School education in compulsory lessons takes place one day per week at the Vocational School (GBC) in Chur.
• Inter-company courses (ÜK) support your learning success by imparting fundamental and industry-specific skills.
• The professional learning field is offered at the Beverin Clinic in Cazis, in the kitchen of the Beverin Clinic in Cazis, and at an external laundry.

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

During your vocational training, you have five weeks of holiday per year.

At the Cazis location, we offer affordable accommodation options if daily commuting between home and workplace involves a significant time commitment.

Our requirements for you

• You are a curious and eager learner
• You have a sense of order and enjoy organising
• You are a team player and communicative
• You have awareness of hygiene
• You are resilient and responsible

Perspectives after your apprenticeship

After completing your apprenticeship, you can work as a specialist in hotel and housekeeping services or pursue further training to become a department head in hotel and housekeeping services or a household manager with a federal certificate of competence.

With the advanced federal examination, you obtain a federal diploma as a manager in hotel and housekeeping services, community catering, or facility management.

The higher technical school offers further training opportunities to become an operations manager in facility management HF or a certified hotelier-restaurateur HF.

At the university of applied sciences, you can earn a Bachelor of Science (FH) in Facility Management.

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. The selection days give you insight into the daily work routine and allow us to get to know each other better. The selection days are organised by us and take place at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur.

The employment decision is made by at least two people, usually the training manager and their deputy.

Your benefits at a glance

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

Training for the Federal Vocational 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 with your application.

As a competitive athlete, we enable you, in consultation with the Office for Vocational Education and your sports association/club, to have special training conditions to create an ideal combination of vocational training and competitive sport. During the preliminary assessment, 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 receive initial insights into PDGR and get job-specific information about your apprenticeship start. The day concludes 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 the everyday – 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 the 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 an interdisciplinary experience.- show less

Each profession has industry-standard apprentice wages. Would you like a bit 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. Additionally, there is a 13th-month 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 in all areas and professions with a varied and well-supported apprenticeship. 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 progress. Your ideas and opinions are also desired and welcome.

Work routine and collaboration

In your work routine 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.
