The designated sample consisted of 30 job vacancies reviewed on two national recruitment platforms. It was thus determined that the country's largest cities are those most in demand for social workers to fulfill their business functions.

It also requires a minimum of one year of experience to meet the requirements of each vacant position and to adapt the professional profile of UCSG Social Work students to fill them.
