But in times of European debt crisis it is even more relevant to analyse if also companies should be (partially) responsible for education. First, some philosophical and theoretical aspects regarding social, political and economic concepts (such as Corporate Social Responsibility) will be pointed out. Then, this article will analyse Switzerland’s dual track education system and its vocational training as a concrete example of economy’s involvement. Finally, the advantages and challenges of the Swiss economy’s engagement in education will be elaborated.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderEconomy, Education, Corporate Social Responsibility, CSREconomic ethicsCommunity ethicsLifestyle ethicsEducation and ethicsConference proceedings
