Master in Methods and Practices for Strengthening Care and Social Support Pathways

The first-level Master in Methods and Practices for Strengthening Care and Social Support Pathways is offered by the Department of Human Sciences of the University of L'Aquila and is coordinated by Professor Fabio Dovigo. It offers a year of intensive training that combines lessons, laboratory activities, webinars, peer exchanges and expert consultations. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts one year and is held in person in L'Aquila. Participants range from a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 27.

The aim is to provide tools for the overall management of cases and personalised support for vulnerable individuals and families, developing skills in needs analysis, intervention design and social network management. The career opportunities are social services coordinator, social project coordinator, professional educator and social policy specialist. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
