Apprenticeships

An apprenticeship in the healthcare sector is a good start, but also a sensible second step. It usually begins directly after high school (secondary school A or B) and concludes with a federal certificate of proficiency. Not only are there many ways to enter the profession, but there are also many other options. At Männedorf Hospital, we offer apprenticeships in various areas.

  • Health specialist

    The training includes a wide range of work areas. For example, you will be involved in the care and support of our patients (e.g. help with washing and dressing), medical technology (e.g. blood sampling), administration and logistics (e.g. orders) or housekeeping tasks (e.g. cleaning). More information about the job description can be found at pulsberufe.ch or at the Center for Education in Healthcare.

    In order for you to learn to work independently and on your own responsibility, you will be guided and supported by the vocational trainer. At the vocational school in Winterthur you will acquire your theoretical knowledge, which will be linked with practical exercises in inter-company courses at the ODA Health and put into practice in the hospital. After the three-year apprenticeship, you will be offered a wide range of challenging opportunities for further training.
