Social Work –
Education and Training

The field of work addressed in the dual Education and Training study programme demands engagement in the circumstances of adolescents and adults who require support in school, getting started in vocational training or integration in professional life. Specific competence in counselling and practical action which takes the different life situations of those concerned into consideration is of major importance. This work requires an open approach to educational, labour market and sociopolitical processes and a knowledge of the pertinent legal background.

Contents of the study programme in brief

In addition to fundamental social work content in foundation studies, specific skills in dealing with socially and educationally disadvantaged people are imparted in elective courses and methodological exercises. Specialised studies focus on specific duties and theories in cooperation with practices and institutions. In addition to the working forms employed to support those affected and educational concepts, this also includes administrative competences in the coordination of existing youth social and educational services, employment promotion and professional rehabilitation.
