Value proposition

We support people with a refugee or migrant background in their professional integration in Switzerland.

We support people with a refugee or migrant background in their professional integration in Switzerland. Capacity is a non-profit, tax-exempt organisation that was founded in 2015. In our bilingual Entrepreneurship and Access Fast Track programmes, we help people from refugee and migrant backgrounds to shape their own social and professional future in Switzerland.

Our commitment is aimed at strengthening programme participants on their path to self-employment or entry into the Swiss labour market and unlocking their individual potential. We create spaces of belonging and learning by involving partner companies whose employees support the programme participants as coaches.

Access Fast Track was successfully launched in 2022 and serves highly qualified, professionally experienced refugees and migrants with a compact programme for rapid professional integration into the Swiss labour market. The entrepreneurship programme, aimed at refugees and migrants with start-up ideas, is currently on pause and is expected to be relaunched in the second half of 2024 following its redesign.

Capacity stands for collaboration and sees itself as an organisation that wants to learn and seeks dialogue with other social actors. Only together can we work towards a social future that sees diversity as a strength and enables people to contribute their potential—regardless of gender and origin.

We rely on partnerships and financial support to ensure that our programmes are accessible to as many participants as possible. We want to thank our current and, in particular, long-term partners who assume social responsibility and make a significant contribution to the success of our work.
