Lukas is 24 years old and works as an EFZ polymechanic in a medium-sized mechanical engineering company in Zug. He would like to swap his manual work for an office job related to the industry. By supplementing his technical expertise with business knowledge, Lukas hopes to gain new job opportunities and better earning potential.

His good communication skills and negotiating skills will also help him in his work as a sales clerk. Lukas would like to qualify for a qualified position as a technical sales representative by taking the professional examination with a federal certificate and thus secure a pay rise.
Financial benefits of further training as a technical business administrator
Lukas will receive CHF 947 more per month as a technical clerk than before and will therefore have at least CHF 434,000 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.
