On April 27, 2016, Ambassador Suzan LeVine, her husband Eric LeVine, and Michigan Governor Rick Snyder toured Switzerland’s leading skilled trades training center and met with government and business leaders as part of Governor Snyder’s European investment mission focused on strengthening trade relationships and creating jobs. Ambassador LeVine, Mr. LeVine, and Governor Snyder visited Libs, the leading training center for Switzerland’s machinery, electronics and metal industry. The facility has nearly 100 instructors educating more than 1,100 apprentices in the commercial and technical fields. Libs is responsible for the recruitment, basic education and specialist training of the apprentice and acts as a feeder for nearly 100 member companies. The Governor’s trip also included a reception in Zurich, at which Ambassador LeVine highlighted Switzerland’s overall investment in the U.S. and amplified Switzerland’s superb dual education system.
