Getting Skills for the Community & Social Services Industry
The Community and Social Services (CSS) Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) is a national Continuing Education & Training (CET) framework developed by the industry for the industry with strong support from the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS). The framework was launched on 20 October 2007 by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports.
The CSS WSQ framework maps out the occupational standards required by more than 50 job titles in the following nine CSS sub-sectors:
As the CSS sector is supported by a large number of volunteers under the “many helping hands” approach, skill sets for volunteer programme management have also been identified.
The CSS WSQ framework aims to professionalise the CSS workforce by incorporating the world’s best practices and providing career upgrading pathways that are based on the competency requirements of different job levels.
For the employee, the CSS WSQ provides the means by which your capabilities can be recognised by employers; shows you the training and skills you need; guides you in your career progression; and helps you to make a career switch to and across the nine CSS sub-sectors.
