Overview
gateway.one is a Swiss online platform that connects young people looking for an apprenticeship (Lehrstelle) with training companies, and it also develops and operates aptitude diagnostics used in Swiss vocational education. Its public-facing service is a national apprenticeship job board: students can search open apprenticeship positions by region and occupation, learn about professions A–Z, and prepare applications, while companies use the platform to advertise training places and to assess applicants. The site is organized around three audiences — pupils, parents and teachers, and companies — and offers free support material for career-orientation lessons in schools. A distinctive part of the brand is its diagnostic portfolio. Multicheck® is a widely used aptitude test that many Swiss training companies require from applicants; gateway.one presents it as a way for candidates to make their abilities visible. WayFi® is a free career-choice analysis that takes about 15 minutes and suggests occupational fields that fit a user's interests and strengths. The company has also developed Basic Check®, which it positions as a successor to Multicheck® Gewerbe for learner recruitment, and SkillCompass, which has been presented internationally, including at the WorldSkills Conference 2026. gateway.one describes its mission as bringing together what fits — matching young people and companies — and accompanying applicants from the search for a training place through to acceptance. The brand also publishes news, studies and events related to vocational education, aptitude diagnostics and learner recruitment, and it states that it operates as a training company itself. It supports the sector commitment that open apprenticeship positions should be advertised no earlier than August of the year before the training starts and that contracts should be signed no earlier than one year before the start. Its content includes career-choice stories, such as a feature on the Handwerker-Parcours in Windisch, and it maintains a presence at Swiss education fairs such as the Basler Berufs- und Weiterbildungsmesse and the Berufsmesse Zürich. The platform is aimed at the Swiss market and is published in German (de-CH) among other language versions.
History
gateway.one is a Swiss platform brand in the field of vocational education and apprenticeship placement. It describes itself as bringing together what fits: it informs young people about occupations, helps them determine which occupation suits them, accompanies them through the application process from the search for an apprenticeship to acceptance, and connects them with training companies. Its public identity is built around a national apprenticeship job board combined with aptitude diagnostics. The brand's diagnostic offerings are central to its history and positioning. Multicheck® is an established aptitude test that many Swiss training companies require from applicants; gateway.one presents it as an opportunity for candidates to make their abilities visible. WayFi® is a free career-choice analysis that takes about 15 minutes and identifies occupational fields that match a user's interests and strengths. The company later developed Basic Check®, which it describes as replacing Multicheck® Gewerbe, and SkillCompass, which has been presented internationally, including at the WorldSkills Conference 2026. gateway.one states that it develops its aptitude diagnostics for apprenticeship placement in a targeted way to strengthen quality and comparability in learner recruitment. The platform serves several audiences. For pupils, it offers step-by-step guidance on career choice: take the WayFi® analysis, learn about occupations, do trial work (schnuppern), then search the apprenticeship portal and attach the Multicheck® to the application. For parents and teachers, it provides advice on supporting young people during career orientation, and it supports teachers free of charge in career-choice lessons through gateway.one ambassadors. For companies, it offers diagnostics and recruitment support. gateway.one also engages in sector-level discussion. It publishes news on developments, practical experience and innovations around Multicheck® and Basic Check®, and it reports on studies — for example, an evaluation by leading education economists based on gateway.one data, Multicheck® and educational history data showing how objective aptitude data can reduce misplacements and apprenticeship dropouts. It endorses the commitment that open apprenticeship positions should be advertised no earlier than August of the year before training begins and that apprenticeship contracts should be signed no earlier than one year before training begins, stating that it supports this commitment not only out of conviction but on the basis of empirical evidence and its own experience as a training company. The brand also maintains a content and events presence. It publishes career-choice stories, such as a feature on the Handwerker-Parcours in Windisch, where engaged professionals demonstrate how modern trades were practiced hundreds of years ago. It lists events including the Basler Berufs- und Weiterbildungsmesse 2026 and the Berufsmesse Zürich. Its website is published in German (de-CH) among other language versions, and its services are aimed at the Swiss market.
