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

During your training, you will work in the hotel sector. This means in the cafeteria, in the kitchen, in laundry supply, and in room care/room management. You will learn the knowledgeable organization of processes in the housekeeping work environment. Specialists in hotel and housekeeping organize cleaning with suitable aids and coordinate their efforts for an appealing appearance of the company. You will acquire skills in decorating and setting up events, customer contact in the cafeterias, food preparation, and responding to customer requests during your training period.

Our basic attitude in your training

• We strive for a learning climate characterized by mutual respect, tolerance, and openness.
• We provide you with space to take on your role as an apprentice specialist in hotel and housekeeping.
• We enable you to engage in various learning forms that promote individual, holistic, and self-directed learning.

• You learn through practical work and reflection; we systematically use leadership and training tools.
• We see learning in practice as a continuous and building process.
• Through differentiated, constructive, and reasoned feedback, we achieve learning successes 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:

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

We support you if you aim for vocational maturity (BM) during your apprenticeship. Please inform us of your interest in your application.

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

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

Our requirements for you

• You are a curious and eager-to-learn personality
• You have a sense of order and enjoy organizing
• You are team-oriented and communicative
• You have hygiene awareness
• You are resilient and responsible

Perspectives after your apprenticeship

After completing your apprenticeship, you can work as a specialist in hotel and housekeeping or pursue further training as a department head in hotel and housekeeping or household manager with a federal diploma.

With the higher professional examination, you obtain a federal diploma as a head of hotel and housekeeping, head of community catering, or head in facility management.

The higher vocational school offers you the opportunity for further training as a business manager in facility management HF or as a certified hotelier-restaurateur HF.

At the university of applied sciences, you can obtain a Bachelor of Science (FH) in facility management.

Selection process

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. Through selection days, you will gain insight into everyday work, and we will get to know each other better. The selection days are organized by us and take place at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur.

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

Your advantages at a glance

We offer you a tailored vocational training. In the PDGR, we fundamentally train all vocational courses at the level of Federal Certificate of Competence (EFZ).

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

We support you if you aim for vocational maturity (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 Education and your sports association, to have special training conditions to create an ideal combination of vocational training and competitive sports. In the preliminary clarification, we carefully check whether your sport can be reconciled with your chosen vocational training and educational goals.

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

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

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

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

The day promotes mutual exchange among apprentices from different professions and allows you to have a cross-professional experience.

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 more so that 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 – of course, always within the framework of youth protection.

Tips for your budget planning can be found here.

We strive to provide apprentices in all areas and professions with a varied and well-supported training experience. As a company with over 1,200 employees, we utilize our diverse opportunities. This way, we can give our apprentices insights into various areas, and they can complete parts of their training at different locations.

No matter which 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 collaborates constructively with other professions – this is how we move forward. Your ideas and opinions are also welcome and encouraged.

Everyday work and collaboration

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

If you cannot make progress alone or with your environment, sometimes a conversation with an external professional can help. For this, we have an independent counseling service available for employees – neutral, anonymous, and free of charge.

Learning and succeeding at the three learning locations

Are you facing difficulties in school, in ÜK, or during practical learning? We are happy to support our apprentices individually with their personal challenges during their training. We promote attendance at support courses or other offerings from your vocational school.
