portrait
The Richemont College has been offering training and further education for the entire bakery, pastry and confectionery sector since 1945. Since it was founded, the range has included both production and sales engineering courses as well as technology and operational management seminars. As part of the Swiss education system, Richemont takes on the development of inter-company courses for basic vocational training. These courses are designed to help you acquire basic professional skills. Other tasks include a job-oriented educational offer, such as B. Courses, seminars, diploma courses as well as preparatory courses for professional examinations and the overarching higher technical examination. Since 1948, individual group courses and courses for national and international industry experts have been carried out, some of them on site in the companies.
Richemont also advises and supports bakery and confectionery businesses in technical and sales-related matters. The spectrum of these consultations includes, among other things, the analysis, evaluation and optimization of production processes, technologies or the development and implementation of new product ideas. The services in the area of quality assurance and development for raw materials as well as semi-finished products are provided in the in-house laboratory and reproduced in the test bakery. Richemont advises companies on all aspects of recipe structure, hygiene, raw material quality, declarations, specific processes and technologies as well as the introduction of quality assurance.
With the opening of the Richemont technical college in 1945, the first specialist magazine for the bakery and confectionery trade was published. The monthly publication provides information on industry events and provides specialist and professional information. In-house publishes specialist books and teaching aids in various languages for the entire bakery-confectionery-confectionery sector.
The Richemont restaurant has 70 seats. The hotel consists of 14 rooms with 35 beds. The Richemont restaurant and hotel business is public. The Richemont Technical School has 6 training and seminar rooms for theoretical lessons, 5 rooms for practical work and the laboratory.
history
On June 7, 1943, at the association meeting of the Swiss Bakers and Confectioners Association (SBC) in Bad Ragaz , it was decided to set up a separate technical school with a test laboratory for training and further education. A decision was made in favor of the English guesthouse "Richemont", built in 1904 at Rigistrasse 28 in Lucerne, from which the school was named. After renovation work, operations began in February 1945. The annual program consisted of 18 courses; the first course was held on January 5, 1945. The number of employees was 10 full-time employees including boarding school and laboratory. In 1945 a total of 576 course participants were counted, the average class size was 32 participants. In 1945 the master's examination was held for the first time.
The first edition of the Richemont Mitteilungsblatt appeared in June 1945. The name was changed to "Fachblatt" in January 1947. In 1947 a first group of German specialists attended the Richemont Technical School, and in 1948 30 English specialists attended a two-week course. This resulted in the International Richemont Club. They were followed by Switzerland after visiting Great Britain, then Austria, Germany, Belgium and France. The basic idea today is still the professional exchange of ideas and knowledge from country to country through course visits, company tours and participation in exhibitions.
Just 10 years after it was opened in 1955, new rooms were created for the technical school through extensions. This expansion included an auditorium, the enlargement of the laboratory and a club hall. In 1965, the 25,000th visitor to the Richemont College was welcomed. The number of annual course participants rises to over 2000. The largest renovation in the history of the technical school began in 1982 and was completed at the end of 1983.
In 1978, Richemont gave courses for the first time to French-speaking professionals in Pully, western Switzerland . In 1987 the branch in Pully was opened. Richemont offers basic and advanced training courses at the Pully site in western Switzerland.
In 1995 there were 50 employees, including hotel / restaurant, research and development and publishing. Over 270 courses are planned internally and externally for 1995. The course program was published in two languages for the first time. The new building at Seeburgstrasse 51 in Lucerne was opened in January 2001. The Richemont technical school achieves eduQua certification. The Richemont trade journal and selected teaching materials have been offered in digital form (e-papers, e-books) in addition to the printed edition since 2013.
