Career Video on Social Work

In a video, Anurag Chauhan has talked about various aspects of a Career in Social Work. Anurag Chauhan started by explaining Social Work as: "Social work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. It aims to help people develop their skills and their ability to use their own resources and those of the community to resolve problems." The video gave me so much food for thought.


It was a welcome change to see the video touch upon Education as theoretical knowledge needed to excel at Social Work, and not merely as Qualifications needed to enter Social Work. Anurag Chauhan touches upon these in the Education section of the Video:

  • Law
  • Social Work
  • Political Science
  • Languages & Culture
  • Human Resources
  • Manangement

Skills are the most important factor determining success in a particular Career.
Anurag Chauhan then explains why these Skills are essential for a Career in Social Work:

  • Patience
  • Communication & Soft Skills
  • Stress Management
  • Practical Knowledge
  • Resource Management

It is important to get an understanding of the Positives of this Career.
Anurag Chauhan believes that the following are some of the Positives of a Career in Social Work:

  • Social Impact
  • Upliftment & Empowerment
  • Networking

Challenges are the other side of Positives and this Career is no exception.
And, Anurag Chauhan believes that one needs to prepare for following Challenges of a Career in Social Work:

  • Lack of Awareness
  • Building Trust
  • Funding
  • Manpower
