Guiding Principle

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1949)

We are primarily a nationally active graduate association. We are autonomous and politically independent. 

We are facing up to the momentum of the competition 
We represent CHE graduates in Switzerland, Europe and indeed worldwide. 

We take responsibility for our profession
As a national association, we bear great responsibility. We represent our members conscientiously in the Swiss education system.

We establish contact
We are consistently expanding our national and international network, so we can pull strings more easily.

We approach the new with confidence
We think innovatively. Our members should comment on our work with “why not” instead of “yes, but”.

We promote our image
Our task is to promote and clearly position our profession in the economy, in politics and in the public domain.

We are partners
Our relationships with our members are based on fundamental interpersonal values. These include fairness and mutual respect.

We operate with vision
We influence the education and training opportunities of our members. To do so, we orientate ourselves to current and future events.

We are effective
We appropriately invest in the resources that we have available to us. To do so, we orientate ourselves towards the needs of our members.
