Alarming Mental Health Crisis Among Swiss Apprentices
June 17, 2025 - 09:17
A recent report reveals that two thirds of apprentices in Switzerland are grappling with psychological issues, highlighting a significant gap in support within the vocational training system. This troubling statistic sheds light on the mental health challenges faced by young individuals as they navigate the demands of their apprenticeships.
Many apprentices report feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression, which can be exacerbated by the pressures of balancing work and study. Despite the prevalence of these issues, the existing support structures within vocational training programs appear inadequate. Apprentices often feel isolated and unsure of where to turn for help, leading to a cycle of worsening mental health.
Experts emphasize the need for improved mental health resources and training for mentors and educators within the vocational system. By fostering a supportive environment, the Swiss vocational training system could better address the mental health needs of apprentices, ultimately leading to healthier, more productive futures for these young individuals.
