This was highlighted by Empower Pacific Clinical Supervisor Ana Radrekusa, who emphasized the importance of having individuals who are prepared and capable of fulfilling the necessary tasks.

“I believe because Social Workers and counsellors, we learn a lot with paper, but when it comes to the rubber mix road, it’s a different challenge again for us, so that’s where I always say it’s always good to do some voluntary work if you cannot get into other fields of work; just try and reach out and see how you can volunteer before you move into the workforce.”
