The digital transformation is fundamentally changing social work. New digital technologies, changing communication channels, and increasing demands on data protection, digital administration, and technical infrastructure are increasingly shaping the day-to-day work of social service organizations. Professionals are thus faced with the task of designing digital processes in a meaningful way, implementing them in compliance with the law, and making them usable for future-oriented social work.

With the part-time Certificate in Digital Transformation of Social Work, you’ll gain the qualifications in just one semester to actively help shape digital change processes in social organizations. You’ll learn to strategically support digital developments in your field, coordinate change processes, and implement digital solutions in a practical, secure, and user-oriented manner. In doing so, you’ll strengthen the future viability of social service organizations and actively help shape the digital transformation of social work.

The certificate program is aimed at social workers and professionals in the social sector, as well as managers and executives who wish to prepare their organizations for digital transformation. Those with an interest in the field and career changers can also use this program to gain targeted qualifications for the demands of an increasingly digital professional field.
