The importance of nursing professions in Switzerland is continuously increasing and represents an essential pillar of the healthcare system. With an aging population and rising life expectancy, the demand for qualified personnel is steadily growing. However, while demand is rapidly increasing, the supply of nursing staff remains insufficient. But what does our future look like and where are we headed?

Studies show that by 2030, around 25% of the Swiss population will be over 65 years old – an increase of more than 30% within a decade.

This development means that new skilled workers are urgently needed, especially in care assistance.

Training as a nursing assistant offers excellent career prospects. The field offers diverse employment opportunities – from old people's and nursing homes to hospitals and private households. Entry into the profession is possible both full-time and part-time and enables a meaningful activity with direct added value for society.

Diverse areas of application in nursing

Nursing assistants work in various areas, including:

• Old people's and nursing homes
• Hospitals and rehabilitation centers
• Homes for people with disabilities
• Home care services (Spitex)
• Private households

Profession with a future: Education as a key

The diploma issued by Kultur und Ausbildung confirms that graduates possess the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge for their future profession. It strengthens their professional competencies and improves their chances in the job market. Additionally, it is recommended to complete an internship to gain valuable practical experience and facilitate entry into employment. Companies and institutions value practical experience as it provides a direct connection to the realities of work.

The nursing sector faces major challenges, but it also offers enormous opportunities – for those who choose a meaningful, future-proof profession with high social relevance.
