What can social work graduate students do?

The employment destination of social work graduate students is as follows:

Civil affairs, women's federations, charities, social organizations, community service agencies, street offices, professional social work agencies, etc.

1, the current situation of social work occupation is as follows:

Social workers are equivalent to government employees. As a profession, this new profession has been "indifferent" by society. Only 12% of students in this major can be admitted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs every year, and even the professional counterpart rate of some school graduates is zero. The low employment rate of social workers and the fierce examination for civil servants prove from another aspect that we still have a long way to go to achieve "big market and small government".

Statistics show that there are nearly 20,000 social workers in Guangzhou who are paid by the government, including more than 8,000 social workers in Guangzhou. Mainly engaged in assisting youth education, women's work, rehabilitation counseling for the disabled and other fields. Originally, community neighborhood committees were the main working platform, and now they are gradually turning to professional social work institutions.

Nevertheless, many people who are essentially engaged in social work in our country still face an embarrassing situation. Social work is a profession that specializes in social work, and most practitioners do not have relevant professional qualities and skills. On the other hand, the qualification standard of social workers has just started in China, and the definition of social workers is still unclear. People who do social work can hardly be called social workers in a strict sense.

2, social work career prospects are as follows:

In developed countries and regions, the social work system has been very perfect and professional, and social workers are an important force to maintain the healthy operation of society. They have become an indispensable part of social crime prevention, especially juvenile delinquency prevention and care for the elderly. In Hong Kong, there are 1 social workers for every 1000 people.

With the rapid development of China's economy and society, many social problems have also increased. It can be said that the profession of social worker involves a wide range. People who engage in patient psychological counseling in hospitals and those who handle and counsel family disputes in judicial institutions all belong to the category of social worker.

According to the development trend of "big market, small government" and referring to the "government purchasing services" policy being implemented in Shanghai (the government invites tenders to hire non-governmental service organizations to help marginal groups such as community corrections personnel, drug addicts and problem teenagers return to society, etc.). ), the above social work will eventually be separated from civil affairs, justice, health and other law enforcement systems, which will provide a large number of social work opportunities.

Social work major is an applied major of sociology major. Social work is the extensive participation of social forces led by the government, based on philosophy, sociology, psychology and medicine, with the core concept of helping others to help themselves, and taking case work, group work and community work as direct working methods to provide professional services for clients, help clients solve various problems arising from interaction with the environment, and help them rebuild their self-confidence and move towards the right track of society.
