The professional socialisation of graduating youth workers is a
crucial issue to consider. The transition from education to
full-time employment is a difficult enough process. The
difficulties are magnified for youth workers because they are
immediately expected to manage teams effectively, interact with
government and religious agencies, represent the needs of young
people in their locality, keep abreast of new legislation, put
together funding bids - and so much more. All this as well as
minister to the needs of the young people they serve! In this book,
Joanne Griffiths considers the issues around becoming a
professional youth worker. Drawing on case study research, she
examines the fears of graduating youth workers alongside the
comments of those who have recently graduated. Griffiths draws
conclusions that have profound impact for the self-understanding of
youth workers. This is also a crucial piece of research for all
those who train youth workers and for those employing graduates.
