RUAG Former Employee Program

Future-oriented projects, promising developments, major successes and inspiring personalities. There is still a lot to experience and learn with us.

As a former employee, we warmly invite you to join the RUAG Former Employee Program so that we can keep in touch even after you leave. Read on to find out more about what you can expect from the RUAG Former Employee Program and how you can personally benefit from a membership.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

First-hand information

Our regular newsletter provides you with insights into our daily work and our business activities that, apart from our employees and customers, only few people have access to. Thanks to this information, you will have a valuable knowledge advantage over outsiders.

Networking

At smaller and larger events, you can exchange ideas with other former as well as current RUAG employees. Use these opportunities to maintain and expand your professional network, which can provide you with advice and support in the future.

Competitions

Take part in various online competitions and, with a little luck, win great prizes or invitations to exclusive internal events. With just five minutes of your time, there’s a great chance you could win.

Former employees know future employees

Help us fill vacancies and tell the people in your network about our career opportunities. If you are mentioned by name in the cover letter or during the first interview with the candidate and this person is hired by RUAG, you will receive an attractive gift from us once they have successfully completed their probationary period. The number of referral gifts is limited per person and year.

Together for Swiss security

Regardless of your decision to seek a new challenge outside of RUAG, we are convinced that you will continue to make a contribution to Swiss security in the future. Remain part of our RUAG community, in which everyone is committed to this overarching goal through various private and professional activities.

A smoother return

Last but not least, the RUAG Former Employee Program offers you the opportunity to stay in touch with RUAG in the long term through the various insights and networking opportunities. Who knows if at a later date you might decide to take an active role in our daily business again.

2025 FOCUS TOPIC

Each year, the RUAG Former Employee Program will focus on a different topic. Our former employees can look forward to a wide range of newsletter articles as well as a variety of events and network opportunities with numerous specialists and managers.

In 2025, our focus topic is our Business Area C5I. Whether you have never heard of it or already have a great deal of expertise in this area, it is such a diverse field with so much to offer that everyone can get something out of it. So it’s definitely worth joining the RUAG Former Employee Program and reading the interesting and informative newsletter articles.

You left RUAG at your own request. We, therefore, hope that you will look back on your time at RUAG with fond memories and would like to stay in touch – even outside of the employment relationship.

No, by joining the RUAG Former Employee Program you are not assuming any obligations. Moreover, membership is of course voluntary.

For what purposes will my personal data be used?

Your personal data will be used exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes. These are to communicate with you as part of the program, to organize the program and to request feedback as part of the evaluation of the program.

You can cancel your membership of the RUAG Former Employee Program at any time by filling in the form above. If you wish, you can also re-register independently at a later date.

Can I be a member of the RUAG Former Employee Program without receiving the newsletter?

The newsletter is the central communication channel of the RUAG Former Employee Program, without which you will not receive any information on competitions or invitations to internal RUAG events. It is, therefore, not possible to join the RUAG alumni program without agreeing to receive the newsletter.

How often will I receive the newsletter?

Do not worry, our goal is not to fill your spam folder, but to provide you with high-quality content. That is why we plan to send out a maximum of four newsletters per year. Over time, we will be able to analyze whether this number is just right, too few or too many.
