10. Summary of thesis results:

The topic has analyzed and systematized scientific concepts of Youth Union cadres, some concepts of social work, social work skills to generalize the concept of Social Work skills of Youth Union cadres. On that basis, it affirms the role of social work and the training of social work skills for Youth Union cadres.

The survey results show that most Youth Union cadres believe that they have social work skills; however, the level of proficiency in using social work skills among Youth Union cadres is not high, especially in some skills of working with the community.

Research on the awareness, needs of Youth Union cadres and forms of social work skills training for Youth Union cadres concluded that: (1) The awareness of Youth Union cadres at all levels about social work and social work skills is not deep and comprehensive; (2) The social work skills that Youth Union cadres have are mainly through specialized training on social work skills; self-study, self-training and formal training account for a low percentage; (3) Youth Union cadres at the grassroots level do not have much experience to develop social work skills through practical social work activities of the Youth Union organization; (4) The social work training and development program is still heavy on theory, weak on practical skills, and does not encourage skill development for students.

The majority of Youth Union officials believe that equipping and fostering social work skills is useful and necessary for them. The current need for fostering social work skills of Youth Union officials who have undergone training courses focuses mostly on 10 skills in all 3 groups of social work skills with individuals, groups and communities.

The form of social work skills training that is currently chosen by most Youth Union cadres is specialized training on social work skills in the Youth Union professional training program. However, this form is not effective because the number of topics structured to train social work skills is still small, so it is necessary to promote activities through more practical activities to improve social work skills for Youth Union cadres. In addition, a part of them realize that in order to "practice the profession", they need to be formally trained in the field of social work.

The thesis has proposed a number of recommendations on solutions to improve the effectiveness of social work skills training activities for Youth Union cadres.

11. Practical application:

Propose solutions to improve the quality of training and fostering social work skills for Youth Union officials in Hanoi and can be used for reference and application to improve the quality of training and fostering activities for Youth Union officials in other localities across the country.

The thesis has analyzed the topic, systemized the scientific concepts of Youth Union official, some concepts of social work and social work skills, which generalize the concept of Social work skills of Youth Union official. Based on that, the role of social work and social work skills training are defined.

According to the survey result, most Youth Union officials consider themselves having acquired social work skills; however, the level mastery is not very high, especially for skills in community-related works.

In terms of perception, demand of Youth Union official and other forms of social work skills training for Union official, the researcher concludes that: (1) Awareness of Youth Union official in all levels of social work and social work skills is still shallow and incomprehensive; (2) Their social work skills are mainly due to specialized training for social work skills; Other types like self-learning, self-training and formal training account for a small proportion; (3) Youth Union official in local institutions have not experienced much to develop social work skills through practical social work activities of Youth Union organizations; (4) Training program on social work depends heavily on theory, lacks practicing skills, discouraging skill development of students.

Most Youth Union officials say that equipment and training on social work skills are helpful and necessary. Currently, due to the needs for social skills training, Youth Union officially has undergone training and fostering courses which mainly focused on 10 skills in 3 types of social work training - individuals, groups and communities.

The training form chosen by most of the Youth Union officials is specialized social skills training within the professional training program for Youth Union's works. However, this method is not efficient because the number of structured subjects to develop social work is low, therefore, it is necessary to promote more activities through practical activities to improve social work skills for Youth Union officials. Besides, a number of officials realized that to "work in reality", they need to be formally trained in social work majors.

This thesis has given a number of recommendations on measures to improve the efficiency of social work skill training activities for Youth Union official.
