Bespoke continuing and executive education: in-house training courses
The HSLU supports companies wishing to expand their employees’ company-specific and specialist skills through bespoke continuing and executive education programmes. In close collaboration with the client, experts from academia and practice develop course objectives and contents together, ensuring the client's needs and objectives are met—no matter if they are a multinational, SME or a team working on a specific project. The training courses are delivered at a place of the client’s choosing, creating a direct transfer from theory to day-to-day practice. Get in touch: we look forward to discussing your options with you. Find contact information for the different Schools here.
The success of our research is based on the scientific rigour of our methodology, our interdisciplinary approach and our extensive practical integration.

This makes the HSLU a popular partner for SMEs, public authorities and cultural institutions alike. The solutions developed not only serve as an incubator for innovation, but they also boost the competitiveness of our partners and, with it, the innovation hub that is Central Switzerland.
