About us
University College Lillebaelt offers the entire welfare package. We educate social educators, teachers, nurses, radiographers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, medical laboratory technicians, public administrators and social workers.
University College Lillebaelt is one of eight university colleges in Denmark established 1 January 2008. A large number of smaller institutions - of which most offered only one specialised bachelor programme - have merged and all medium-cycle higher professional education programmes in Denmark are now offered by university colleges.
University College Lillebaelt covers part of the Southern Region of Denmark and has approximately 7,000 students and 700 employees.
In addition, University College Lillebaelt offers Ongoing and Further Education from day seminars tailored for specific organisations and professionals to Diplomas at the BA-level.
University College Lillebaelt is spread out over the Southern Region of Denmark in five cities from Vejle and Jelling in Jutland to Odense, Svendborg and Skaarup on Funen. The administration is placed in Vejle and the International Unit in Odense.
Why do we participate in Best Agers?
We participate in the project because the demographic changes will affect our welfare professions a lot. It means the project is very relevant for our social worker education.
What´s happening right now?
Despite current financial crisis a lot points in the direction that in a few years there will be a shortage of labour in Denmark.
The aim of our activities is to rally people close to retirement to the cause of staying just a bit longer in the labour market. The focus is on public sector employees. In the spring 2011 we have conducted a case study of attitudes to staying longer in eldercare sector of the municipality of Fredericia. The study shows that the following - among other things - will motivate many best agers to stay longer: less weekend shifts, less working hours without compensation and a appreciative management.
View the complete study and the recommendations to the municipality of Fredericia.
