Amt für Berufsbildung

What Amt für Berufsbildung does

Amt für Berufsbildung (Office for Vocational Training) is a cantonal government office operating under the Department of Education, Culture and Church Affairs (EKUD) of Canton Graubünden, Switzerland. The organization delivers statutory vocational education and training (Berufsbildung) services for the canton, including career, study, and career path counseling (Berufs-, Studien- und Laufbahnberatung), apprenticeship supervision (Lehraufsicht), and vocational education and talent development programs (Berufsbildung und Talente). It also operates the official Lehraufsicht (vocational inspectorate) function, exercising regulatory oversight over apprenticeship contracts and training companies within the canton. The office operates bilingually across German, Romansh, and Italian to reflect the multilingual governance context of Graubünden.

The office's service portfolio is structured around four interconnected modules — Amtsleitung, Berufs-, Studien- und Laufbahnberatung (BSLB), Lehraufsicht, and Berufsbildung und Talente — delivered through the official cantonal website (www.gr.ch) and an E-Dienste portal that supports online consultation booking, apprenticeship contract management, and access to a training company directory (Lehrfirmenverzeichnis). The technology stack is described as a standard government website with e-service portals; there are no proprietary platforms, APIs, or AI/ML components disclosed. The office integrates with the national berufsberatung.ch vocational guidance platform to extend reach on Schnupperlehrstellen (trial apprenticeship) search. Service channels include a self-serve web portal, in-person advisory services at the Chur headquarters, and social media presence on Facebook and X. Marketing assets include the annual Berufswahlzeitung (career choice newspaper) and a referral link to the national Lehrstellensuche.ch apprenticeship search ecosystem.

The business model is non-commercial: Amt für Berufsbildung is funded entirely through Canton Graubünden tax revenues and cantonal government budgets. Services are provided free of direct charge to citizens as public-sector services. The customer segments are three-fold: youth and adolescents seeking career choice and apprenticeship information (primary), adults and professionals seeking career transition and continuing education guidance, and training companies/employers in Canton Graubünden who offer apprenticeship positions (Lehrstellen) within the dual vocational education system. The organization has no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no disclosed funding rounds, and no commercial revenue streams; its sole reporting line is to the Canton of Graubünden administration.
