Paul is 23 years old and works as an EFZ building cleaner in a large building maintenance company in the Fribourg region. He enjoys his work in building maintenance and can contribute to the cleanliness and hygiene of buildings. By regularly cleaning and maintaining buildings, he can make a significant contribution to preserving their value. In addition to cleaning, Paul can also take on more and more building maintenance tasks, such as replacing incandescent materials or carrying out minor repairs and meter checks. He is characterized by a high level of reliability, careful working methods and technical flair. Paul would like to progress professionally and be able to work more independently. To this end, he is completing further training to become a janitor. This will enable him to expand his knowledge of building maintenance and technology as well as the care of green spaces. By taking the professional examination as a janitor with a federal certificate, Paul improves his career development opportunities and secures higher wages in the long term. He can even manage a small team of employees. Later on, he can also imagine working as a self-employed janitor.
Financial benefits of further training for janitors
As a janitor, Paul will receive CHF 471 more per month than before and will therefore have at least CHF 216,000 more at his disposal by the time he retires than if he had not done any further training.
As this theoretical calculation does not take into account any further salary increases, promotions or interest on savings, the salary can still increase significantly.
