We build belonging

Capacity promotes the talent of refugees and migrants in Switzerland to facilitate their socio-economic integration

Together

for successful integration

For participants in the labor market integration programme Access Fast Track, since 2023 a project of national relevance for the SEM, and LEAP into self-employment  (pilot edition, fall 2024), Capacity provides tailored learning content and creates spaces of belonging. One of our methods is by involving partners whose employees support the participants as mentors.

"The team of Capacity helped me find and believe in my personal uniqueness and value as a specialist in my field and as a person. Thanks to workshops and events, I understood the structure of the Swiss labour market and how to present myself. But most importantly, I found a powerful group of like-minded people who support and motivate each other."

"Nine years of partnership, mutual trust and support, openness and appreciation. The unique combination of determination and dedication, kindness and compassion is what makes Capacity as special as it is. To see their work being recognized more and more by other companies and institutions makes us happy. How great that refugees and migrants here in Switzerland can continue to count on Capacity. We will continue to count on them too."

"Being able to collaborate with Capacity, and to support the many talented migrants to find jobs (and hopefully a career) in Switzerland, is for me not only giving back, as a migrant myself, but it's also about fostering a culture of integration and belonging that will continuously benefit the Swiss labour market with a diverse, skilled and competitive talent pool."

"For me, this ability to mobilize, collaborate and adapt to the pressing needs of society, along with the passion and determination of every single individual within the organization, is what makes Capacity so unique. [...] And I know that I speak for all of J&J when I say that we are truly happy to also be a part of the Capacity family and spirit. Moreover, our shared sense of purpose fuels our unwavering commitment to drive positive change and create a healthier future for everyone."
