Abstract

Within the frame of the Social Worker university curriculum, the traineeship is a complex activity that manifests itself as the practical translation of the theory and of the professional social relationship. Moreover, this is also the possible «bridge» that University can build with the labour market through its so-called «Third Mission» activity. In this way, the (curricular) traineeship allows trainees to acquire the specific professional know-how competences and it allows trainees to become aware of the real contents in the Italian context of Social Works as «services to the person». Such system focuses onto the individual and his needs, as a whole, and intends to overturn the logic of social response. Indeed, any social intervention is expected to investigate the «personal conditions» of those who have or may have problems. «The project aims at enhancing the person’s abilities in order to overcome the fragility condition and regain control of their life and autonomy» (Italy’s National plan for social interventions and services 2021-2023, 99). By considering all these aspects and drawing on the theoretical framework of Social Relational Work and Relational Sociology, this paper wishes to investigate whether, and how, the trainees’ experiences, of a specific Social Work training course, such as that of the University of Molise, have successfully built «bridges» so as to network with the local Social Services
