Theme: A Review of the State of the Social Service Workforce 

Overview: 

The Global Social Service Workforce Alliance hosted its 2nd Annual Symposium on June 10, 2015. The event was held at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, DC, and also via live webcast. A total of 365 participants from 20 countries joined to discuss how planning, developing and supporting the social service workforce can lead to stronger systems of care for vulnerable children and families. The first State of the Social Service Workforce Report, which reviewed the workforce in 15 countries, was also disseminated during the event. 

The symposium was made possible through funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the 4Children project (led by CRS) through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program and also by the GHR Foundation.
