Successful premiere: Graduation ceremony for opticians in the canton of Solothurn
A special milestone was celebrated in the canton of Solothurn: For the first time, the graduation ceremony for the qualification procedures (QV) in optometry took place independently at cantonal level - and with great success.
Around 70 guests, including graduates, their families, vocational school teachers and representatives of the industry, attended the dignified ceremony.
Despite an unexpected challenge - the originally planned catering cancelled at short notice - the organization team managed to put together an atmospheric celebration with a lot of commitment and improvisation talent. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the KfA team once again!
The fact that none of the festive atmosphere was lost was demonstrated by the consistently positive response from all those present.
After a warm welcome and a speech by the chief expert of the examination board, the young professionals were ceremoniously presented with their EFZ certificates. The pride in the eyes of the newly qualified opticians was palpable - a moment that made them forget the hardships of the training period.
Afterwards, representatives from the industry also addressed the graduates. Rodenstock and Hoya, two well-known companies in the ophthalmic optics industry, were present at the event. Mr. Burkhardt was also present as a representative of the VBAO (Verband der Betriebsinhaber in der Augenoptik). He also took the opportunity to personally congratulate the successful graduates and gave a short but appreciative speech.
The premiere of the Solothurn graduation ceremony in optometry can be considered a complete success. It not only demonstrated organizational talent and the art of improvisation, but also how much passion is behind the training in this specialist area.
