I am an unemployed, Graduated in 2015. I'm signing this because I want to be considered as an unemployed Social worker in job creation.

#3210

I'm signing because... I love social work and i believe that social workers have a great impact on people's lives. I also believe that social worker's are losing interest in their work because of the way they are being being treated and the amount of less money they are being paid. If there were to be a change in the sum of money that social worker's earn, the social worker's will continue doing their work with love and enthusiasm. The field of social work should be respected and treated with the kind of respect it deserves

I'm signing in because i am a student social worker who wishes to get a job next year, i love social worker so much but as i do my practical i see social workers as people who work as Clerks because it is written all over that they earn small amounth compare to the workload they do. They help people who are desparatly in need but still they are ignored. The other thing is job opportunities as i'm studying i'm afraid tbat i might not get a job but there are clinics who dont have social workers, there are schools who dont have social workers and there are companies without social workers. How come this places i'v just mentioned dont have social workers? Because there are people and they need councelling because faces challenges everyday. At schools there are children who are being sexually, physical and emotional abused. They need help . Please Mr President hear our cry. Thank you
