Re: Swiss government pays you to learn German

OK, I went to the RAV interview today. They told me I need to be in CH at least 3 months, submit 5 to 8 job applications a month, send them proof that I was denied. After the 3 months, they will pay for the German Language class. In the same school I'm in.

They also told me, that they have 2,000 people registered jobless ( don't know if in that office or the Canton) and they only find around 50 jobs a month for them, and usually they are low skilled jobs. So I was better off, getting a headhunter or looking on my own than using their services.

They told me where to get my Bachelor's diploma certified, also to get my social security card (AHV) and some other tips. So I guess it was worth it.

Good Luck All!
