Success Factor
HIGHLY SKILLED PROFESSIONALS WITH EXCELLENT EDUCATION, TRAINING AND PRACTICAL SPIRIT
Basel-Landschaft has a high potential of available workers who are well trained, practice-oriented and equipped with considerable work experience. They are key to any successful economic development.
Excellent staff
Basel-Landschaft businesses profit from easy access to highly skilled workers. The canton’s rural origins make for short commutes and a high quality of life. This tends to attract many sought-after workers. The canton’s geographic location close to the equally rural remainder of the region, Alsace and the German South Baden Area, also attracts commuters from those regions.
Quality education – combined with a practice-oriented attitude and work experience
Over 49% of all workers hold secondary school certificates. This is more than the Swiss average and means that Basel-Landschaft boasts numerous specialist workers with a practice-oriented higher education. Apprentices leave school having gained considerable professional experience in their training companies. These high levels of education, combined with a down-to-earth attitude and a sense of responsibility that are characteristic of rural areas, contribute to the attractiveness of Basel-Landschaft for manufacturing businesses.
