Pusdiklatbangprof Fully Supports the Establishment of Social Worker and Social Counselor Formation
Jakarta (July 19, 2022) - Discussing the development of the social work
profession cannot be separated from the role of educational institutions and
stakeholders. MoSA through the Center for Education, Training, and Professional
Development (Pusdiklatbangprof) becomes the institution for coaching functional
positions of social workers and social counselors.
Regarding its role as the coaching unit,
Pusdiklatbangprof received visits as well as consultations from the social office
of the East Java province. Several matters were consulted
regarding the certification of social workers and the establishment of
functional position formations for social workers and social counselors.
Previously, Assistant Deputy for Standardization of
Positions and Competency of State Civil Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic
Reforms Ministry, Istyadi Insani, said that the coaching unit needed to make
adjustments because there were differences between regular position transfers and
adjustments with equalization of positions.
Reflecting on the adjustment, the Head of Education
and Training Center, Afrizon Tanjung said that there were variations in the
class of positions occupied. This becomes one of the problems when there is a functional
position class that is higher than it should be or other functionals. Afrizon
also added that apart from certification, it will also be seen in terms of the
competence of the person who will occupy the functional position.
