ProOst 2018: Center stage for SGBA employers

This year’s ProOst, already the fifth edition of the employment and recruitment event in Eastern Switzerland, didn’t leave any doubts:  The labor market of the St.GallenBodenseeArea (SGBA) continues to prosper.

Organized on behalf of the economic development organizations of the cantons St. Gallen, Thurgau, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Innerrhoden, ProOst puts attractive employers of the SGBA into the spotlight and seeks to inspire both experienced professionals and managers looking for the next career challenge, as well as recent college and university graduates looking to cut their teeth in the professional world.

In mid-August, more than 300 of them from all over Switzerland heeded ProOst’s call to the Congress Center Einstein in the city of St.Gallen to learn about career opportunities at 32 employers from the SGBA. ProOst’s program traditionally included company visits in the morning, where this year’s participants were granted insights behind the scenes of SGBA employers like Lidl Schweiz, Metrohm and Schott. Highlights in the afternoon included the company catwalk where employers get to deliver a one-minute elevator pitch to professionals and future employees. A novelty this year was the Startup Corner through which emerging companies in the SGBA such as Advertima, Frontify or Meteomatics could advertise their potential as employers. Finally, the fair’s company booths offered ample opportunity for in-depth information exchange, discussion and networking.

Several keynotes by business leaders from the SGBA, among them Nicolo Paganini, CEO of OLMA Trade Fairs, provided plenty of useful knowledge about labor market and career opportunities in Eastern Switzerland, topping off the complete picture of SGBA as an attractive location for established and rising professional talent.
