EDV-Schule Plattling

What EDV-Schule Plattling does

EDV-Schule Plattling (legal name: EDV-Schulen des Landkreises Deggendorf) is a public vocational school located at Georg-Eckl-Str. 18, 94447 Plattling, Bavaria, Germany, operated by the Landkreis Deggendorf as a kommunale Berufsfachschule and Fachschule. Founded in 1987 and based in its current location since 1993, the school delivers two core programs: a three-year vocational training track leading to the IHK-certified Fachinformatiker qualification (specializations in Anwendungsentwicklung or Systemintegration), and a two-year continuing-education track leading to the state-certified Wirtschaftsinformatiker (Bachelor Professional) qualification, which now includes a KI/AI specialization. Curriculum is built around practical, project-based learning; student projects span a broad modern stack including C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, SvelteKit, ASP.NET Core (.NET 8), Docker/Kubernetes (k3s), PostgreSQL, Neo4j, SAP HANA/ABAP/SAPUI5, Unity/VR, and AI applications such as the KI-Dartsscheibe computer-vision dartboard and Gaagle graph-database search engine. The school is tuition-free, financed through public funds from Landkreis Deggendorf, with students paying only nominal costs (up to ~100 EUR for textbooks over the program) and IHK exam fees.

The school's go-to-market is sales-led but distinctly public-sector in character: prospective students are recruited through aptitude tests (Eignungstest), interviews, partner-Realschule visits (9 partner schools including Realschule Schöllnach, Wirtschaftsschule Deggendorf, Dreiflüsse-Realschule Passau), open days, Girls' Day events, and the Career Captain online platform. Annual intake is deliberately capped at ~48 students from a larger applicant pool, with a total enrollment of ~180 across both programs and 18 teaching staff led by Schulleiter Prof. Dr. Martin Griebl and deputy Klaus Krieger. The school's commercial analogue is a B2B2C talent funnel: a Förderverein of 111 partner firms (including msg systems AG, T.CON, Kermi, Rohde & Schwarz, Lindner, Zollner, Liebherr, Sennebogen) supplies curriculum input, equipment sponsorships (notably the Java Coffee Bar funded by DPS Business Solutions), internships including a six-month practical phase, and direct graduate recruitment; the Firmenpräsentationstag attracts ~49 employers annually. Pricing is effectively zero to the student (subsidized by taxpayers), while the implicit revenue-per-student to the regional employer network is captured as recruitment access, internships (often >1,000 EUR/month stipends), and graduate starting salaries of EUR 45,000-50,000. Customer concentration is structurally low due to public funding and a deliberately broad employer base; growth is capacity-constrained by design rather than market-limited.
