What if your internship did not consist of observing, but of making things move?

At the Swiss Education Academy, this internship is designed for someone who wants to understand what is actually happening behind the scenes of short and intensive international programs.

This is not a passive internship. You will contribute to the preparation and implementation of programs involving participants, colleagues, and partners from different countries and cultural backgrounds.

Priorities can change. Details matter. Unexpected situations sometimes require practical thinking and rapid adaptation.

Here, you will not just watch things happen.

You will help make them happen.

Join Swiss Education Group

For nearly 40 years, Swiss Education Group has been developing an international approach to education rooted in Swiss hospitality, practical learning, and professional development.

Its schools bring together people from many different cultures, creating an environment where learning happens through experience, responsibility, and human connection.

At the Swiss Education Academy, this philosophy translates into programs where preparation, attention to detail, communication, and care for the participants all matter.

This internship offers you the opportunity to be part of this environment, to contribute to real programs, and to gradually develop confidence and autonomy.

You will work in a setting where people from different countries, cultures, and professional backgrounds come together around a shared learning experience.

And behind every successful program, there is preparation, coordination, communication, and attention to detail that make the experience work.

How we work

• Preparation is important. Things happen, and improvisation is sometimes necessary - but it must be based on understanding, not on assumptions.
• We value careful and attentive work and consider mistakes as learning opportunities when they result from sincere effort and reflection.
• A significant part of the work involves administrative tasks that can be repetitive. Patience, precision, and the ability to work calmly without rushing are essential.
• We care about the people in our programs and the quality of their experience. This care manifests in our preparation, our communication, and our follow-up.
• Responsibility grows with trust. Feedback is direct and focused on improving the work.

What you will participate in

• Program preparation and logistics, including administrative coordination
• From planning to execution and practical problem-solving
• Communication with participants, partners, and internal stakeholders

Experiences and qualifications

• Reliable, organized, and comfortable with real operational responsibility
• Patient, detail-oriented, and capable of calmly managing repetitive administrative work
• Flexible to work evenings and weekends when programs or events require it
• Mastery of English is mandatory; additional languages are an asset
• Legal authorization to work in Switzerland
• A valid Swiss driver's license is an asset

What you will gain

With progressive training and delegation, you will be encouraged to take on more responsibilities as your confidence and understanding grow.

Over the six months, you will develop practical experience in coordination, communication, logistics, and problem-solving in an international environment.

You will learn to anticipate, organize, and manage details without losing sight of the big picture.

You will also discover what it means to adapt when priorities change, communicate with different stakeholders, and contribute to the quality of a program from preparation to realization.

The goal is not simply to complete tasks.

It is to gradually understand the whole and become capable of managing responsibilities more autonomously when necessary.

Previous experience is useful, but not decisive.

Attitude, discernment, and attention to detail matter more.
