Philippine officials in Switzerland are working with government authorities about the possible entry of Filipino professional and technical trainees to the country.
Ambassador to Switzerland Leslie Baja took up the matter with Federal Office of Migration Director Mario Gattiker last January 17, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in a news release on Tuesday.
"The embassy is also looking at the possibility of Filipino nurses entering as trainees, as Filipino healthcare workers who arrived in the 1970s are very well regarded in the country," the DFA said.
Bilateral trainee agreement
The embassy noted Filipinos and Swiss nationals can work in each other's country for a maximum of 18 months and receive training in the field of their choice.
Last January 20, Baja also met with officials of APM Technica, a company manufacturing adhesives in a Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) zone in the Philippines.
APM Technica regularly brings Filipino trainees to work in its company in Switzerland for 18 months.
