From child and adult protection to school social work to management and leadership: the range of topics in the social sector is broad. Our continuing education programmes in this area are correspondingly diverse. Here, professionals and leaders from the broad field of social work as well as from related professions will find exciting offers to expand their knowledge and strengthen their skills.
They become familiar with the relevant legal foundations in relation to social security in Switzerland and can apply them adequately. They learn about the socio-political interrelationships of social security, the different stakeholders and the specific needs benefits. They are able to support the political authorities with regard to the relevant issues in the area of social institutions (institutions for the disabled as well as social and addiction support institutions).
School is more than just a place of instruction. It often reveals the family difficulties that pupils have to suffer. On the other hand, it is important to prepare children and young people for challenges outside the classroom and, for example, to train them in the responsible use of (social) media. The Talentkweruni imparts the necessary skills in selected further education courses.
When children and young people are at risk or exposed to violence, this requires highly professional action on the part of the professionals involved in order to protect the victims. Among other things, they must be well versed in legal issues and have in-depth psychological knowledge.
Wherever people live or work together, there are conflicts. Be it in families, at schools or in companies. If they threaten to escalate, the experts are called upon. In order to mediate, they need psychological knowledge on the one hand, but they also have to be familiar with legal principles. At the Talentwerkuni, professionals from the legal and psychosocial fields can acquire the necessary skills.
Anyone who wants to successfully manage organisations in the social sector must be able to deal with the typical areas of tension. Economy, politics and profession form the "magic" triangle of tension that determines our management actions. In the MAS in Management of Social Services, students develop a deeper understanding of leadership tasks and sector-specific management.
Those who work in social welfare institutions operate in a tense triangle between economic, political and professional requirements. In the CAS Business Administration of Social Services, participants acquire a well-structured and networked knowledge of business economics and politics in relation to social services.
Social services are increasingly subject to economic principles. Politics demands that the financial resources used are effective. In the CAS Social Management, participants deal with business management, social science and political issues of social management.
