Hotel Belvedere Grindelwald certified as a "top training company"

Finding suitable apprentices and training them properly is a challenge that many companies face today. Vocational trainers not only have to be technically up to date and impart knowledge, but also act as a reference person for the apprentices and require appropriate social skills.

In order to be even better equipped for this task in the future, the Hotel Belvedere Grindelwald successfully completed the first stage of the support system of the Top Training Company Foundation in August 2024. The 4-star superior hotel in Grindelwald thus receives concretely applicable knowledge and training material for the training of apprentices on the one hand, and is officially recognized and certified as a "top training company" on the other. This certification serves as a visible sign of quality across all sectors in Switzerland to help young people make decisions when looking for an apprenticeship. The family business in Grindelwald now has the opportunity to tackle the 2nd and 3rd TAB certification levels at its own pace and thus expand its training expertise even further.

What is a top training company?

The Top Training Company Foundation (TAB) is a national support and award system that contributes to the attractiveness of commercial professions. TAB supports companies from all sectors in improving the quality of their training and awards the label to companies throughout Switzerland that are particularly committed to training young people.

Top Training Company stands out from many labels as it not only assesses existing quality, but also helps with development in advance. The system, which is unique in Switzerland to date, was awarded the ENTERPRIZE by former Federal Councillor Johann Schneider-Ammann in 2017 and is recommended by the Swiss Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (SFIVET).

A place where everyone feels at home

At the Hotel Belvedere in Grindelwald, run with passion and great success by Carole and Philip Hauser in the 4th generation, guests will find everything their heart desires: magnificent views of the majestic Bernese Alps from all 56 rooms, award-winning culinary delights in the "1910 - Gourmet by Hausers" restaurant, the popular "Belvedere" restaurant and pure relaxation in the small, very fine wellness area. The Hauser family's warm hospitality is passed on to the team and can be felt throughout the hotel. Guests, staff and the current five apprentices feel as if they are part of the family themselves. "We are proud to have received this award and want to reassure our future apprentices that they are in the best hands with us. Our aim is to prepare the specialists of tomorrow for their professional future in the best possible way. A big thank you goes to everyone involved in the certification process," explains Carole Hauser.

With this certification, the family-run 4-star superior hotel is sending a strong signal for the continuous development of its training standards. The hotel's vocational trainers regularly undergo further training in order to keep up to date with the latest developments in the industry. This ensures that the current five apprentices at the Hotel Belvedere Grindelwald benefit from comprehensive and future-oriented training.
