The Federal Council adopted a proposal to amend the Foreign Nationals and Integration Act, aiming to improve labour market access for beneficiaries of protection status S and third‑country nationals trained in Switzerland. The reform would allow employed S‑status holders to change canton under certain conditions, require unemployed beneficiaries to register with public employment services and extend job search opportunities. It also facilitates labour market admission for third‑country nationals who completed higher vocational training or postdoctoral work in Switzerland, granting them up to six months to find employment after completing their studies.
