Professional competence and education in social work

The publication is an output of the TAČR project Professionalization of Social Work in the Czech Republic. The aim was to create a systematic description of social worker positions in the Czech labour market in the form of the so-called. occupational diagrams. These were supplemented by case studies, the so-called. examples of remarkable practice, continuously published on the website of the journal Social Work. This basic material is summarized, evaluated and supplemented by descriptions of the career paths of graduates of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University. Following the results of the study, a revision of the Minimum Educational Standard was proposed and recommendations for the system of undergraduate and lifelong education of social workers in the Czech Republic were derived.
