I really enjoy working with our apprentices. It's exciting to be so close to them when young people gain motivated experience and develop into competent professionals.

Would you like to know who Obwaldner Kantonalbank is? For the people of Obwalden, it is the OKB. Simply familiar. Perhaps just a name for you. We would be happy to change that.
It's all a question of perspective. Obwaldner Kantonalbank is one of the smaller cantonal banks. We are the largest in our home market. As a company, we strive for profitability and profit. But as part of society, we see it as our duty to act ecologically, socially and ethically.
Strongly committed as a training company
We have been committed to strong vocational training for years. It is a central element of our HR policy. Providing young people with good vocational training is very important to us. In addition to technical know-how, we give our apprentices ideas for their personal development. We are currently training a total of 17 apprentices in four different professions: Management Assistant, IT Specialist, Office Assistant and, since August 2020, a Mediamatician.
We tackle "Midänand"
We live an authentic corporate culture across all hierarchical levels. Working together is important to us. As a company with employees from four generations, we create platforms to promote the mutual transfer of knowledge. At the Digi-Café, for example, the youngest generation passes on digital tips and tricks to the other generations. A win-win situation!
