Your role as an officer in the social domain
“Support where needed, connect where possible.”
As an officer in the social field, you stand next to young people and young adults who need a helping hand. Together with them you look at what they can do and what is needed to participate. You have an eye for their situation at school, at home and in society. With your commitment and network you can also make a difference in their access to appropriate education, internship or work.
Inclusive education
“Making education accessible and appropriate.”
Some young people get stuck in the education system because of mental illness, disability, overload or problems at home. You can help make education accessible again. Think about drawing up a support plan, coordinating with the school or deploying facilities. Together with educational professionals, you contribute to education in which everyone can participate.
Career orientation and guidance
“Helping to build a future with perspective.”
For young people in a vulnerable position, the step to internship or work is sometimes a big one. As a social-domain professional, you can help think about achievable goals, support on the job or help with practical obstacles such as transportation or money matters. By building bridges between municipality, school and employer, you help young people on their way to sustainable participation in the labor market.
Student Welfare
“Good functioning begins with well-being.”
You know better than anyone how important it is for young people to feel good mentally and socially. You identify, support and refer where necessary. You can also give input to schools on how to do things better. Together we ensure that students are seen, heard and helped not only in education, but also outside it.
