Apprenticeship Food Technologist EFZ for August 2026 (m/f/d)

High-quality fresh chocolate – that is what the Swiss chocolate manufactory Läderach stands for. Founded in 1962, the family business today employs over 2500 people group-wide from more than 80 countries, with a rising trend. The company headquarters is located in the canton of Glarus. Against a picturesque Alpine backdrop, we produce our fresh chocolates here and constantly develop new, creative ideas in agile teams.

In our production, we make fresh couvertures from high-quality raw materials. Afterwards, we process and refine the liquid chocolates in our chocolate manufactory into fresh chocolate, pralines, truffles, figures, and much more.

You will have the chance to complete a multi-year EFZ apprenticeship in the field of food technology at one of our production sites. There you will learn how to take food samples and examine them for their chemical and microbiological properties. We will show you how to operate equipment, monitor our chocolate production, and comply with strict hygiene guidelines.
