| Description

It is estimated that the employability rate of social technicians, in family and school social contexts of risk/vulnerability, is expected to grow 14% by 2026. The social and economic uncertainties we are currently experiencing lead to conditions of delinquency, violence, crime, poverty and social exclusion. The risks to which we are exposed encourage new modes of socio-educational intervention, adjusted to the reality of the contexts. This postgraduate course aims to train professionals to intervene in different contexts characterized by vulnerability and social risk.
