“The approach involves nurturing an individual's resources in the best possible way”

The Sunneziel Meggen nursing home and centre for the elderly in the Swiss Canton of Lucerne offers older people a range of living and care options. The institution provides training in nine basic professions and training occupations to train the skilled workers who are employed there. In addition to this, students receive professional instruction during their placement phases. Magdalena Fuchs has been training coordinator since 2011 and is therefore not only responsible for the initial and continuing vocational education and training of the next generation of skilled workers but also for the qualification and support of the training personnel.
