About us
The part of the apprenticeship no textbook covers.
Around two thirds of young people in Switzerland go through vocational education and training (VET). For vocational school there are curricula, books and exams. For the four days a week at the company there’s a training plan – and beyond that, whatever the vocational trainer can manage.
The system isn’t the problem.
Dual vocational education and training is the reason Switzerland has skilled professionals. There’s nothing about that to improve. It’s just that most of it happens in companies that have their own work to get done at the same time.
- The training plan is the start, not the solution
- It says what an apprentice must be able to do. It doesn’t say which job they should practise it on this week. Every company makes that translation on its own, every time anew.
- Knowledge is tied to people
- The vocational trainer knows where their apprentice stands. If they change jobs, that knowledge is gone. The next one starts from zero, and the apprentice explains for the second time what they can already do.
- In the end, a certificate is what counts
- After three or four years, there’s an EFZ on paper. What was actually practised, shown and improved in that time is written down nowhere.
Every apprentice deserves an apprenticeship they can look back on with pride.
That’s not an advertising line; it’s the yardstick for every decision we make. If a feature doesn’t serve that sentence, we don’t build it.
- The apprentice comes first
- Not the company, not the reporting, not the administration. Someone who is 17 and working for the first time should know where they stand and what they can already do.
- Structure is not surveillance
- A path both sides can see doesn’t turn anyone into a supervisor. We don’t track time, keep no leaderboard and report nothing to third parties.
- The human remains the teacher
- Showing, explaining, correcting – no software can do that. All it can do is make sure none of it is lost.
Few features, built to last.
- For every trade
- LEHRWERK is industry-neutral. The topics come from the company – whether it’s commercial training, healthcare, construction, technology or retail makes no difference to how it works.
- For all of Switzerland
- Built for the Swiss system: vocational education and training with EFZ and EBA, inter-company courses, the qualification procedure, the professional organisations (OdA). Not an international learning platform with a Swiss label.
- Artificial intelligence in the background
- It helps with wording and suggestions. It decides nothing and grades no one. If you don’t notice it in daily work, it’s doing its job.
Behind LEHRWERK stands a person, not an anonymous product.
LEHRWERK is developed in Switzerland, in direct exchange with training companies. Whoever builds it has a name and a face.
Ivan Eric runs Mein Lehrwerk as a sole proprietorship in Sempach. LEHRWERK is built in conversation with training companies – not by an anonymous team behind a brand.
The servers are in Switzerland.
Everything your company records in LEHRWERK – topics, tasks, feedback, records – is stored on servers in Switzerland.
The data belongs to your company and the apprentice. It can be printed and taken along at any time, and the apprentice takes the portfolio with them at the end of the apprenticeship.
The best way to see it is in your own company.
One apprentice, two weeks, no overhead. After that you’ll know whether we’re right.
No subscription. One invoice per year.
