Orif Sion

Present in Valais for 50 years (in 2019), Orif Sion welcomes young people from all French-speaking cantons, including Upper Valais, for vocational guidance and specialized vocational training measures.

With 100 employees, 160 apprentices, 12 training workshops, and accommodation facilities in Pont-de-la-Morge and the city center, Orif Sion responds with appropriate and effective resources to the very specific needs of young people and the expectations of disability insurance offices.

Social and professional integration is achieved thanks to the many companies in Valais and French-speaking Switzerland that take on our young people for internships or in-company training. Long-term partnerships and mutual trust are the keys to success.
