In 1997, the Federation of Swiss Psychologists (FSP) created an FSP assistance project on behalf of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). This provided unemployed psychologists with a springboard into working life. As part of this programme, assistantships were arranged in public institutions.
As a consequence of the revision of the Unemployment Insurance Act, the FSP Assistance Project was reorganized at the BNF in 2013 and thus integrated into the infrastructure of the University of Bern. The BNF («Beraten – Netzwerken – Fördern», in English: «Consulting – Networking – Promoting») is – like the FSP Assistance Project – a long-standing national qualification programme. It is aimed at highly qualified job seekers and is represented throughout Switzerland.
Thanks to the project's new location at the BNF, not only has it remained available to unemployed psychologists, but for several years now it has been offering additional opportunities: Job seekers benefit from BNF's extensive coaching and course offerings. BNF does its utmost to seamlessly continue the assistance project for job-seeking psychologists at a high level.
