Our Journey
Returning home
For breakfast some of us ordered pancakes that were so thick we could barely finish them. After we had finished packing and tidying, we left the house to get lunch. On our way to the restaurant we passed the Grand Central station and checked out the station building. From there we walked to the restaurant. …
Rocking the last day of work
Today was our last day of work. So we finished our final tasks. Meanwhile Sam did the last interviews for the video. Some of us were already done by noon so they did some shopping and just waited in the city for the rest to finish. Afterwards we all met at the Union Square and …
Last day
Thursday was our last day before our flight back. We packed all our belongings in the morning, so we would have time to visit the Metropolitan Museum. We were on our way to the museum and took a small break in Union Square to have lunch. We arrived at the museum around 3pm and made …

our Project
Vision
We from TIE International have been giving our apprentices, which work on real projects from our customers from their first year, the opportunity to work abroad for years. So far this has only been on European soil. Now, we want to take a leap over the great pond.
Politics
We believe that the right moment is now, because the political pressure to counter the shortage of skilled workers on both the USA and Switzerland is growing. Switzerland should and wants to help the USA in implementing the dual educational system.
Apprentices
As expected, a survey in Switzerland of volunteers in their 2nd to 4th year for a trip to New York resulted in a positive picture. The interest is there.
Economy
For its part TIE International is fortunate that, in addition to existing exciting international partners, Accenture and a well-known search engine operator have also joined our customer base. Not only do both companies have a great reputation, but they also have offices in New York with thousands of employees.
Education
Various possible partnerships have emerged over our existing network. Our primary partner is the ETH Zurich. The ETH Zurich has already built a network in the world of universities on the East Coast.
State
Both the USA and in Switzerland have the necessary organisations to support this project, be it to answer any legal questions or to help finance this project (Department of Labor Washington DC, SBFI, MBAs etc.).
