What is the Career Empowerment Label?

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 is awarded annually as part of the Career Empowerment Label Award Night.

Become part of our Career Empowerment Community

You can apply or be nominated for the Career Empowerment Label as a company or organisation. Both the application and nomination are free of charge. Thereafter, University of St.Gallen and Avenir Group representatives will evaluate your application or nomination. Successful applicants receive the label at the Career Empowerment Label Award Night.
