What is the Swiss Career Survey and who is behind it?
The Swiss Career Survey is a survey for Swiss students on their career entry after or during their university studies. It pursues two main objectives:
- It provides insights for the Career Services of the universities into the professional ideas of the students. From this, conclusions can be drawn as to how Career Service offers can be further adapted to the needs of the students.
- It supports students in preparing their professional careers. By participating in the Swiss Career Survey, the aim is to encourage students to think about what is particularly important to them in terms of their future job.
The Swiss Career Survey is an initiative of the Career Services Network Switzerland. 18 Swiss universities will survey their students on career choice topics in the period from October to mid-November 2023. The sender of the survey is the respective university.
How are the data of the participants collected?
The data is collected anonymously by means of an online survey. Participation is in any case voluntary. After completing the questionnaire, participants may access their personal evaluation with a personal code . (Go to the evaluation report).
What happens to the data and what about data protection?
Your data will be collected anonymously and not passed on to third parties. The information provided in the questionnaire will be used by the Career Services of your university and by CSNCH Network for the purposes mentioned above. The survey data and the online portal for the individual evaluation reports (incl. data) is hosted on a Switch AG server in Switzerland.
The aggregated evaluation data is displayed & stored on a report platform. These are hosted on an AWS server in the USA.
To ensure the security of the data, the entire infrastructure is regularly maintained (update service infrastructure, Umbraco, firewall, etc.)
