The purpose of this desk study, conducted within a critical research paradigm, is to analyze the current state of social work education programs, including an examination of their geographic distribution, levels of training, and alignment with existing educational and professional standards.</p> <p>The analysis reveals that as of 2024, Ukraine has 127 higher education institutions (HEIs) offering training in the specialty 231 “Social Work” and 43 vocational education institutions preparing qualified workers in the specialty 5133 “Social Worker.” Additionally, one qualifications center has the authority to confer professional qualifications such as “Social Worker,” “Social Work Specialist,” “Early Intervention Specialist,” and “Veterans and Demobilized Persons Support Specialist.” At the same time, certificate programs and other forms of informal learning are being implemented.</p> <p>Educational programs at HEIs largely lack specialization (one of the most common being social pedagogy). Furthermore, a notable asymmetry between supply and demand in the social work labor market in Ukraine is observed. The analysis also shows that educational programs face challenges due to the lack of harmonization among national higher education standards, professional standards, and state social service standards, while procedures for awarding professional qualifications remain unclear and inconsistent.</p> <p>Key recommendations have been formulated to harmonize professional and educational standards, expand educational program specializations, and standardize procedures for awarding professional qualifications.</p> Tetyana Semigina Copyright (c) 2024 Тетяна Семигіна http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journals.uran.ua/swe/article/view/311472 Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0200 MSMEs, digital transformation economy during pandemic in Indonesian https://journals.uran.ua/swe/article/view/313984 This study aims to determine how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as a form of people's economic product and digital transformation are able to strengthen the Indonesian economy during the Covid-19 pandemic which is recognized internationally as one of the countries with a strong economy during the pandemic. This study uses documentation in the form of published articles, with the criteria for selecting articles as samples based on publications in nationally accredited journals and international journals indexed by Scopus, then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Based on the study, it was found that through product diversification strategies, business process innovation, digitalization, and collaboration, MSMEs have been able to survive and even thrive. Increasing digital literacy and access to information technology are the keys to the success of MSMEs in facing future challenges. The government and financial institutions have an important role in supporting MSMEs by providing access to financing, training, and development programs. Recommendations to strengthen the role of MSMEs in the Indonesian economy include : Increasing access to easier and more affordable financing, especially for MSMEs who want to switch to digital business. Increasing training and mentoring programs to improve the competence and capacity of MSMEs. Building a strong and MSMEs-friendly digital ecosystem, by providing online platforms, digital infrastructure, and easily accessible digital services. Strengthening collaboration between MSMEs, government, and private institutions to encourage innovation and product development.
