Our students are 15 to 60 years old and have more than 50 ethical and cultural backgrounds. For the youngest, we offer short introduction programs of 20 to 40 weeks – to prepare them for a start at the main educational programs of either:
- 14 months (Social and Health Care Helper) or

We are continuously involved in European projects, and it is not difficult for us to ensure the impact of project results inside and outside our organization. The results of our projects are directly integrated into the education of social and help care helpers and assistants at the SOSU Ostjylland college.

We always try to allow them to exploit our result as well.
