The idea behind visite / Vision
visite is an independent non-profit association of Rotary Switzerland / Liechtenstein. We have been organising work placements for apprentices in Switzerland and around the world for over 25 years.
visite was set up in 1998 by the Rotary Club of Uster as a programme to combat youth unemployment. At the time, exchanges were organised on a small scale to increase the chances of integration after vocational training. Each year, a handful of interested apprentices took part in the exchanges in Prenzlau near Berlin, Uster's partner city.
