This place isn’t just about classrooms and text books. Login is where Switzerland’s trains, stations, and mobility magic really begin. If you’ve ever wondered who keeps the trains running on time or who makes a busy train station tick, the answer is often right here. Founded in 2001 as a small association and later turning into a big-league joint-stock company in 2014, Login has become the training ground for young, bright minds from the Swiss railways-SBB, BLS, Rhätische Bahn-and almost 70 other companies, even folks from aviation, like Swissport and Edelweiss.
Each year, Login finds and supports about 900 new apprenticeships for dreamers and doers. The learning journey can be a real adventure-imagine spending six months working at a busy train station, then rolling up your sleeves in a technical workshop, then taking on logistics or IT somewhere new. There are even 13 “Junior Stations” run by the apprentices themselves, where they call the shots from selling tickets to figuring out lost luggage. Now, that’s a crash course in responsibility!
Login’s passion for teaching is no joke-its trove of awards, including the National Education Prize and a string of “Great Start!” workplace medals, proves it. With so many paths-technical, administrative, hands-on crafts-the only thing missing is perhaps a course in “How to Be a Human Train Whistle.” If only I could whistle, right?
So the next time you catch a Swiss train or pass through a gleaming station, give a little mental nod to the folks at Login. They train the people who keep Switzerland moving. And hey, who knows? With all these possibilities, maybe you’ll decide to join them yourself.
