HSGYM Coordination 20%

HSGYM Coordination 20%

Due to the election of the previous HSGYM coordinator to a school management position, HSGYM is looking for a coordinator to lead HSGYM starting from the 2026/27 school year or by agreement.

HSGYM fosters dialogue and networking at the interface between university and high school in the Zurich education area and supports initiatives that shape and optimize this important transition. Specifically, this means: Once a year, HSGYM organizes the "Autumn Conference of Subject Committees" as a central networking event, to which delegates from all schools are invited. Every three years, a full-day "University Day for High Schools" is held at UZH or ETH. In the intervening years, HSGYM alternately visits the universities of applied sciences. In addition, HSGYM pursues other projects, such as an expert pool for matriculation exams or sabbaticals for high school teachers at UZH and ETH.

The overall management of HSGYM is the responsibility of the steering committee "HSGYM Strategy," which includes the rectors of ETH, PHZH, ZHAW, and ZHdK, the vice-rector of UZH, the SLK, and the High School and Vocational Education Office of the Canton of Zurich. The operational management is carried out by the seven-member "HSGYM Management." In addition to the coordinator, it includes one representative each from SLK and LKM, as well as two representatives each from ETH and UZH.

He/she coordinates the core groups and subject committees, organizes conferences and events together with the HSGYM management, acts as a liaison to the DLH Innovation Fund, manages the expert pool for matriculation exams, the HSGYM website, and all meetings of the HSGYM management as well as HSGYM Strategy – including preparation and follow-up of these meetings.
