MORE than 70 applicants have signed up for a training program to become professional social workers on a course run by the Labor and Social Security Bureau in Pudong New Area.
Lessons to teach basic knowledge of population and family planning kicked off last week, as part of the long-term program.
About 60 people signed up for the class, but organizers were surprised to find more than 70 joined the course.
“The course is designed to train professionals who can offer counseling services related to population and family planning,” said Ji Zhongxian, a bureau official.
The training program, which will hold six classes over 10 days, will focus on introducing theories and concepts that a social worker should know.
Another training class designed for directors of residents’ committees will also open soon – attracting more than 500 applicants so far.
The proactive approach focuses on theories and practical skills to solve problems, such as how to settle disputes among residents.
“Social work in Shanghai is still in its infancy and there are very few professional social workers at present,” said Zhang Linqiang, bureau spokesman.
Zhang added that there are 20,000 professional social workers in Hong Kong, which has a population of six million. There are only 3,000 professionals in Shanghai, which has a population of 18 million.
“Pudong New Area developed social work as early in the 1990s, but among 60,000 social workers in this area, only about 250 people have obtained the certificate of professional social workers,” Zhang said.

With the approach of the 17th National Disabled Day, Jiang Xipei, chairman of Far East Holding Group, has announced that his company would unite with five private firms to set up a charity to promote employment opportunities for China’s 83 million handicapped people.
The first batch of firms that have joined the fund include Yurun Group, Hongdou Holding, LAD Group, Yuexing Group, Eastide Group and Fast East Holding Group. Named the Far East Fund, it is one of the largest non-government sponsored charity funds to provide employment opportunities for disabled people. The money they raise will be used to sponsor projects which provide job training and services for handicapped people, and to give awards to outstanding handicapped people and to people who have done a lot to help the handicapped in China.
China has 83 million handicapped people but only 23 million are employed. Around 9 million employable handicapped people have no jobs, and their number increases by 300,000 a year.
Local media reports the Far East Fund has raised more than RMB100 million to date and expects to garner another RMB100 million within a year.
CHINA’S foreign direct investments jumped 10.2 percent in the first four months of this year, as the nation’s lower costs and market attracted a steady inflow of funds.
The amount of FDI totalled US$20.4 billion from January to April, the Ministry of Commerce told a press conference in Beijing yesterday. April saw a FDI flow of US$4.5 billion, up 5.5 percent from a year ago, the ministry said.
“Foreign direct investments into China have kept steady since last year as the nation shifted its focus to the quality instead of quantity of foreign funds (investments),” said Liang Futao, an analyst with Shenyin & Wanguo Securities Consulting Co.
He said the monthly FDI is around US$5.2 billion on average.
Investors are now being encouraged to pump investments to other sectors, including high-end manufacturing, research and development, services, agriculture and environment protection, Li Zhiqun, an official with the foreign investment department of the ministry, said earlier this year.
China’s continuous opening-up, a booming consumer market and lower costs continue to serve as magnets for foreign investments, even if the government has curbed funds heading to industries with high pollution, low energy efficiency and lower added value, industry officials have said.
Intel Corp, for instance, will spend US$2.5 billion to build its first computer-chip plant in China’s Dalian in Liaoning Province in the northeast, its first in Asia too, the US chip maker said earlier this year.
Caterpillar Inc, the world’s largest maker of earthmoving equipment, also opened a plant in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province.
Foreign-invested companies had more than 300,000 factories in China by the end of 2006, according to a report this month by HSBC Holdings Plc.
The second round of Sino-US strategic economic talks, set for next week, is expected to benefit long-term investment relationship between the two nations as topics of market opening and others will be addressed, Liang said.
Rising FDI also fueled the nation’s record foreign exchange reserves which have topped US$1.2 trillion, more than a fifth of the world’s total, industry officials said.
China’s FDI rose 4.5 percent last year to a record US$63 billion, according to the ministry.
Total FDI has surpassed US$700 billion since China accepted funds from overseas investors, Commerce Minister Bo Xilai said in March.
