Survey: professional development and training for youth workers
The report of the results of a survey on how the professional development of New Zealand’s youth work sector can be better supported and strengthened is now available.
Between September and November 2006, the Ministry of Youth Development
conducted a questionnaire on the professional development and
training needs of youth workers in New Zealand as part of a wider
project on youth work in New Zealand, the Youth Workers Workforce
Development Project.
The responses from the questionnaire provide an in-depth understanding
of the past, present and future training needs and desires of youth
workers. The responses also complement Real Work, a publication detailing the most comprehensive assessment of the
state of youth work in New Zealand which was conducted in 2004 and 2005 by the
National Youth Workers Network.
The responses from the questionnaire will assist the Ministry in seeking
solutions to address the training and professional development
needs of youth workers in New Zealand in ways that are meaningful for
them. This will contribute to the desired outcome of the Youth
Workers Workforce Development Project which is to create a more
professional and safe youth worker workforce for young people who
are accessing these services.
The report is available to download below.
