Are you a non-EU/EFTA PhD student or postdoc wondering how you can continue your career in Switzerland?
This workshop provides detailed information for non-EU/EFTA citizens on:
- The legal status of PhD students and postdocs
- The requirements for obtaining a work permit
- Eligibility for unemployment benefits
After the workshop, participants will have a clearer understanding of their immigration status in Switzerland, whether as a student or a worker, helping them plan their next career steps.
Participants will learn about the federal legal framework for migration and the specific practices of the Canton of Fribourg. The requirements for obtaining a work permit will also be explained in detail.
Finally, the workshop will cover the conditions for receiving unemployment benefits, particularly relevant for those whose employment contract is about to expire.
The presentation is followed by an apero.
