MCYS to encourage more to join social work profession

The Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) on Monday launched an inaugural nationwide campaign to encourage more people, especially the young to join the social work profession.

There are currently over 800 registered social workers, but Singapore is still short of about 200. As demand for social services increases, there is a critical need to attract and retain more social workers.

The campaign features five real-life social workers and how they have the power and authority to improve social conditions, quality of life and the well-being of those in need. Their stories are shown through a series of print and TV ads.
