These Professional Days at Zurich Airport are the first of their kind. And SWISS is taking full advantage of them to present the vast choice of careers in its own working world together with a wide range of contact opportunities, all conveniently within a single week. SWISS also holds its own job information events – such as on the pilot’s career or on its cabin crew training and profession – regularly throughout the year. Others, such as the SWISS Cockpit Ladies Day or the SWISS Experience Day for young people, are onetime or annual events.
