Career Empowerment Label
Your label for re-entry & repositioning
Diverse teams have a positive impact on a company’s success. Employees with non-linear CVs bring new ideas and different perspectives to a company. Do you place value on what newcomers and career changers can offer? Are you committed to supporting and promoting this?
The University of St. Gallen, together with Avenir, has developed the Career Empowerment Label to recognize companies and organizations that consider job seekers with non-linear career paths and value diverse teams. The label offers potential employees valuable guidance in their job search. The label will be awarded at our Label Award Night on 20 September 2023.
