Switzerland has developed a strong connection between education and the labour market. Through its dual education system, many students combine vocational school with practical training inside companies, gaining experience while still in education. This close link with employers helps ease the transition into working life and contributes to one of Europe’s lowest youth unemployment rates. The system also remains flexible, allowing further studies and career changes later on. Even current Swiss President Guy Parmelin began his career through vocational training.

In Geneva, two rivers meet… but don’t mix 🌊🇨🇭 At La Jonction, the Rhône and the Arve flow side by side, creating one of Switzerland’s most striking natural contrasts. The Rhône originates from the Rhône Glacier in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, before passing through Lake Geneva, which naturally filters its sediments and gives the river its clearer appearance. The Arve, more turbulent and rich in sediment, comes from the Mont-Blanc massif in Haute-Savoie, France. Because of their different sediment levels, speeds and temperatures, the two rivers remain visibly separated before gradually merging downstream. After the confluence, the Rhône continues its journey through France and eventually flows into the Mediterranean Sea.

The next astronauts exploring the Moon could be driving on Swiss-developed technology. 🌕 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has selected the company Astrolab as one of the providers of a new crewed lunar rover for the Artemis campaign. The vehicle, called CLV-1, will rely on critical technologies developed by VENTURI Space teams in Switzerland, Monaco and France. Among them: • hyper-deformable wheels designed for extreme lunar terrain • high-performance batteries • advanced battery management systems The rover is built for one of the harshest environments ever explored: → temperatures from -240°C to +130°C → steep lunar terrain → lunar nights lasting up to 14 Earth days NASA plans for the new lunar vehicles developed under this programme to reach the Moon by 2028. 🌑🚀 More information: https://lnkd.in/e4WutymP
