On March 21, Foreign Minister Dominique Hasler and Scott Miller, US Ambassador to Liechtenstein and Switzerland, signed a Memorandum of Understanding on apprenticeships and work-based learning. The MOU will allow relevant stakeholders to promote cooperation among industry, labor, education and government to strengthen “apprenticeships that equip students and workers across a broad range of industries and sectors with competencies developed and valued by the private sector, and that can lead to quality jobs,” as stated in the MOU.

As both Liechtenstein and the United States are committed to high quality education and training of the work force, both countries will now have a format to exchange best-practices and further develop relations among relevant partners to promote apprenticeships that will offer work-based learning and beneficial pathways to successful careers.
