According to the Business Census conducted by the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), the participation level of Swiss companies in dual-track VET programmes has gradually increased since 1995. Following an in-depth analysis of available data up to 2008, SFIVET has determined that participation levels have increased mainly in the following branches: education, health and social care as well as hotels, restaurants and catering (HORECA). In contrast, participation levels have decreased in the following branches: banking and insurance as well as corporate services.
