Commercial clerks take on administrative, planning and organisational tasks. We train apprentice commercial clerks at the locations Klinik Waldhaus Chur, Klinik Beverin Cazis and Heimzentrum Rothenbrunnen in the healthcare sector.

Your practical assignments include learning and consolidating professional, social and methodological skills in everyday professional life. Changing training locations after each semester enriches your training and allows you to gain insights into various specialist areas of clinic administration:

• Controlling
• Finance
• Human Resources
• Customer Administration
• Marketing and Communication
• Medical Secretariat
• Secretariat Care Centres

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 commercial clerk.
• We enable you to experience 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 for the B and E profiles takes place in the 1st and 2nd year on two school days and in the 3rd year on one day per week. For the M profile, school education takes place for all three years on two days per week. For this, you attend the KV Business School in Chur.
• The inter-company courses (ÜK) support your learning success by imparting basic and industry-specific skills.
• The professional learning fields are offered at Klinik Waldhaus in Chur, Klinik Beverin in Cazis and Heimzentrum Rothenbrunnen. You will get to know different areas during your training.

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 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.

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

Our requirements for you

• You are a curious and eager learner
• You have a quick grasp and are committed and motivated
• You are interested in commercial work
• You are articulate both orally and in writing
• You have a flair for numbers
• You are reliable and responsible

Perspectives after your apprenticeship

After completing your apprenticeship, you work as a commercial clerk in the profession or aim for the professional examination to become a specialist in finance and accounting, marketing specialist, HR specialist, executive assistant or trustee.

Furthermore, you can take the higher professional examination to become a certified expert in accounting and controlling, certified marketing manager, certified head of human resources, certified head of foreign trade or certified real estate trustee.

The higher vocational school offers you the opportunity to continue your education to become a certified bank economist HF, certified business economist HF or certified insurance economist HF.

At the university of applied sciences, the Bachelor of Science (FH) in Business Administration and Industrial Engineering is available to you.

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 an insight into everyday work and allow us to get to know each other better. The selection days are organised by us and take place at various PDGR locations.

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

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 requirements and in certain professions in 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 between vocational training and competitive sport.

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 Klinik Beverin 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 are spent together by all new apprentices. 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 a cross-professional experience.- show less

In every profession, there are 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-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 offer apprentices 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 professional 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.
