<\/strong>17 innovative projects were specifically supported with CHF 0.9 million. These include the Zurich careers fair, apprenticeship competitions in the Zurich Oberland and new training company alliances in the IT and catering sectors. Social integration projects such as practical days for refugees also received support. This diversity shows that the fund not only supports tried-and-tested projects, but also actively promotes new, forward-looking formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>Despite high expenditure, the Vocational Training Fund remains financially stable. At the end of 2024, it had a solid balance of CHF 15.4 million. This financial cushion ensures continuous support for vocational education and training, even in economically challenging times. In addition, the Zurich model is gaining attention beyond the canton’s borders and is increasingly regarded as best practice for other German-speaking regions of Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>“Vocational education and training offers prospects, orientation and stability in a dynamic environment,” emphasises Ruth K\u00f6fler-Apitzsch, Head of the Office. The fund is a reliable partner for all those who are committed to strong basic education and thus to a stable foundation for the Swiss labour market.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
