Randers Social- og Sundhedsskole

What Randers Social- og Sundhedsskole does

Randers Social- og Sundhedsskole is a Danish vocational education institution (erhvervsskole) operating under public taximeter funding that delivers social, healthcare, and pedagogical training across two campuses in Randers and Grenaa (Djursland). The school runs youth vocational programmes including Grundforløb 1 and Grundforløb 2 (SOSU, PAU, and EUX Velfærd tracks), Social- og sundhedshjælper, Social- og sundhedsassistent, and Pædagogisk assistent, alongside the combined vocational-gymnasium EUX Velfærd programme which grants access to 168 higher education programmes. Adult and continuing-education offerings include EUV1 accelerated paths, EUD10 preparation, and AMU (Arbejdsmarkedsuddannelser) continuing education courses in care, nursing, rehabilitation, pharmacology, and welfare technology, with customized (Skræddersyede) training packages.

The institution serves approximately 800 pupils annually through a permanent staff of 100 in teaching, administration, and service roles, supported by a Learning Center combining library, makerspace (3D printers, vinyl cutters, textile printing, welfare technology), and study support. Technology infrastructure is built on Danish-standard third-party platforms (Cicero Surf library system, i-bog.dk digital textbooks, Studie+ SIS, Uddataplus, SharePoint). Pedagogical differentiation includes the "Lær med AI" initiative and the "Handlemod med Anne og Peter" instructional video series, plus an international mobility network of roughly 20 partner institutions across Europe, Canada, Ghana, and New Zealand that delivers around 25 student and staff exchanges per year.

The business model is anchored on government taximeter funding per enrolled student plus apprenticeship wages paid by employing municipalities (Randers, Syddjurs, Norddjurs, Favrskov). Commercial revenue comes from AMU participant fees (620–930 kr/week for almene courses; free for faglige AMU and since 1 January 2025 also free for higher-educated participants in the social/health area) and customized enterprise training. The school is led by Direktør Lisbeth Hvid Christensen and operates without disclosed parent-company or external capital backing.
