We train IT apprentices 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.

This includes installing devices for users, providing support, and maintaining servers and networks. You will participate in application development projects, gather requirements, program, create test concepts, and implement data models in a database. You will work closely with external partners, customers, and suppliers.

Our fundamental approach in your training

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

Key points of your training

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

• The school education in compulsory classes takes place on two school days 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 provide you with the professional learning fields at the Waldhaus Clinic in Chur.

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

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

Our requirements for you

• You are a curious and eager-to-learn personality
• You have a quick grasp, are committed, and motivated
• You have very good performance in scientific, mathematical, and language subjects
• You are team-oriented and communicative
• You possess logical-abstract thinking skills
• You have a structured and systematic working style

Perspectives after your apprenticeship

After completing your apprenticeship, you will work as an IT specialist in the profession or aim for the professional examination as an ICT platform developer, ICT system and network technician, business informatics specialist, or business informatics expert.

Additionally, you can take the Higher Professional Examination to become a certified ICT manager.

The Higher Technical School offers you the opportunity to continue your education as a business informatics HF or as a technician HF in computer science.

At the University of Applied Sciences, you can pursue a Bachelor of Science (FH) in Computer Science and Business Informatics.

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 or at the Beverin Clinic in Cazis.

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

Your benefits at a glance

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

An apprenticeship 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 let us know 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 apprenticeship and training 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 free days (compensation days). These are worked in advance throughout the year within 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 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 will be spent together by all new apprentices. 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 will meet with all apprentices for a joint activity. Gold panning in the Surselva, planting trees with WWF in the 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 salaries. 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 professional – 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 apprenticeship 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 their individuality and collaborates constructively with other professions – this is how we move forward. Your ideas and opinions are also welcome and appreciated.

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.
