PE:
Practice Enterprise

A Practice Enterprise (PE) replicates the commercial activities of all the departments of an import-export company. It is a great tool for “learning by doing” for commercial professions, both in-person and remotely. Digital tools are part of PE's dailybusiness and develop in step with the digitalisation of companies and the world of work in general.

How does a PE work?

Commercial operations are carried out through partnerships established with sponsor companies who make their image, products and price lists available to the PE. PEs conduct transactions between themselves, in Switzerland and abroad, through the Pen Worldwide Network. Business management tools are used to establish operations. These exchanges can be done on site with equipped offices, or remotely via suitable platforms. Depending on the audience, there are different actors in our “learning by doing” methodology:

The Project Leader

performs a visionary act by investing in training and ensures qualified placements for commercial trades.

The Mentor Enterprise

creates visibility for its products and services and participates in the prevention and reduction of unemployment in its region.

The Trainee

experiences the economy reality and forges contacts with potential employers in his or her region while strengthening his or her professional, digital and linguistic skills through national and international exchanges.

The Coaches

following our training, support Trainees with their learning.
