  • 662 Accesses

Summary

In this paper, we present a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the competences and employability of graduates in Social Work. Our approach follows the methodological lines of the Credits project, which includes the statistical analysis of interviews with experts, such as teaching staff and entrepreneurs, mail questionnaires, focus groups, and the textual analysis of documents. Our target is the entire population of social workers in Tuscany. We expect to create indicators of the competences required by the job market, verify the efficacy level of education and training, and create an interactive systematic relation between academe and the labour market.
