A new job, a new region, a new circle of friends. It takes some time before you really feel at home in your new home. To help you get off to a good start in Schaffhausen, we organize a welcome event three times a year. At this event, we give you an overview of the extensive range of offers in Schaffhausen. It's also a great networking opportunity to get to know other new arrivals.

Are you new to Schaffhausen and would like to have an overview of Schaffhausen delivered to your home? Or do you have new employees who don't know Schaffhausen yet? In our Welcome Packages we provide you with an overview of what Schaffhausen has to offer.

The guide informs you about services and offers from the public sector and local companies. It also gives you an overview of the wide range of offers in the areas of sport and culture.

You haven't found a suitable apartment yet? That doesn't matter. With the range of furnished apartments in Schaffhausen, you can take your time looking for a place to live.

Are you ready to learn a new language? You'll get pretty far in Schaffhausen with just a few German words. A tip: Swiss German is spoken in Schaffhausen. So don't be surprised if you don't understand everything straight away.

The Female Makers Initiative Schaffhausen is a mentoring program by women for women. We support women in their professional development. We also organize exciting networking events several times a year.
