The person in charge of the social worker association of Ji'nan believes that such a low pass rate, but the enthusiasm of the examiner is undiminished, and there is an inseparable relationship with the increasing awareness of social work on social work.
"in fact, in most units have the nature of social work, and mastering the knowledge, ideas and methods of social workers is very helpful for them to work. In addition, in many units, there is a certain incentive policy for obtaining social work certificates. In May 14th, the person in charge of the social workers association of Ji'nan said that in Ji'nan, the members, deputy directors and directors of the neighborhood committee were given a small increase in subsidies after they were admitted to the social work division.

10 thousand Ji'nan full-time social workers gap, the development prospects are good in May 14th. The Minister of publicity and education of the Ji'nan social industry association, Chen Ying, told the public network reporter that in western developed countries and regions, professional social workers have a history of nearly one hundred years, but in Ji'nan, only less than 10 years from start to now.
in accordance with the proportion of developed countries and regions in Canada, the United States, Hongkong and other social workers, 234 full-time social workers in Ji'nan are far from meeting the demand. "The demand gap is about 10 thousand people." Chen Ying said, "although the examination of the certificate does not necessarily become a full-time social worker, the trend of increasing fire represents the attention and recognition of the whole society to social work." With the development of society, social unions are more and more understood and accepted.

social workers' embarrassment: 18 "star children" 6 "Mom" "money tight" is a common problem that many social workers face. At present, the monthly salary of 2300 yuan has already been a good salary in the social work circle of Ji'nan. The majority of social workers earn no more than 3000 yuan per month. Some social work organizations attract nearly 1000 college students of social work to practice in one year, but none of them can leave their jobs after graduation. In May 20th, Volkswagen reporters came to the center of the Ji'nan Kei mentally retarded people, where there were 18 "star children" (referring to autistic children), but only 6 social workers, "mommy", were embarrassed in the service center. Shortage of social workers: thousands of interns can not stay, except for "tight money", which is also an important factor in the development of many social workers. Almost every social work project will attract a large number of volunteers who are mainly college students. However, when the internship ends, there are few students left behind. The Ji'nan based mental retardation service center receives nearly 1000 volunteers every year, but there is no one left behind. the "submersible rule" of the college students majoring in social work is to find a job by second majors and a year's college entrance examination. Many candidates are aiming at the hot majors such as economy, IT, law and foreign languages, but few people know the major of "social work". Because of the poor social identity and narrow employment export, in many two and three types of undergraduate colleges in the province, the students of "passive selection" of social workers accounted for about 70%. Industry, and depend on it.
