In Switzerland, teacher education comprises a single phase of training, with students entering the profession directly after graduation. New teachers face challenges that they do not experience during training. Therefore, it is crucial that they receive support before and during this transition period. To identify the forms of support that meet the needs of teachers entering the profession, we investigated this issue through semi-structured interviews and a complex code configuration. The results showed that various sources of support ease teachers’ entry into the profession. Central aspects include exchanging teaching experiences and receiving reassurance related to their teaching practice. It is therefore conducive to the careers of new teachers if the school culture promotes looking for and accepting help, asking questions, and the exchange of teaching material.
