Abstract
“Didn’t they teach you that at varsity?” A scoping review of continuing professional development for enhancing work readiness of newly qualified social workers
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.2 Building professional capacity in social service professions through supervision, support, and development
Oral Presentation
Newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) are expected to be work ready; however, certain professional development can only take place within the work environment. The bridging process between obtaining a degree and entering the work place therefore requires specific support and development to enhance work readiness. A scoping review was conducted to map existing support and development needs, as well as the structures that have been developed for addressing these needs of NQSWs.
The review followed Arksey and O'Malley's methodology. Based on the PRIMSASc process of 10 electronic databases, 40 articles met the inclusion criteria for thematic analysis.
Identified support structures for NQSWs include protected caseloads, supervision and orientation programmes. The findings of the scoping review signal ways to cultivate a work environment characterised by lifelong learning and professional capacity building of NQSWs as they transition into the workplace. The paper contributes towards sub-theme 4.2, i.e. building professional capacity in social services professions.
