유비쿼터스 및 스마트 기반의 모바일 업무관리 소프트웨어의 개발은 정보화 수준이 미비한 국내 사회복지 기관의 현실을 감안하여 언제 어디서나 업무관리가 가능한 모바일용 그룹웨어 개발은 꼭 필요하다. 현재 국내 복지기관의 특성상 소규모 인력형태에서 업무관리를 위한 그룹웨어가 꼭 필요하지만 높은 단가와 도입에 대한 기회비용의 과다, 복지현장의 현실과 동떨어진 솔루션 구성 등이 문제가 되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 현실을 감안하여 인터넷과 모바일을 통한 유비쿼터스 기반의 업무관리가 가능한 그룹웨어를 개발하여 제안한다.

In the reality that the seriousness and concern about the youth problem is increasing, this study focuses on the vision plan project supporting the NEET youth in the social welfare field. Therefore, this study analyzed how the social workers recognized the NEET problem before participating in the project, what difficulties they experienced in the process of the project, and how they coped with these difficulties. The results of the study are as follows. Social workers were saddened by the seriousness of the youth problem before their participation, but they recognized that there was no way to solve it and many social workers were not fully aware of the youth or NEET issues. In this context, in the course of running a project with NEET youth, social workers experienced difficulties due to the nature of the NEET youth, difficulty in forming a relationship with NEET youth, and difficulties for young people not to spend time in the program. And social workers also faced difficulties due to the lack of know-how in the project, difficulties in operating the center alone, and difficulty in achieving employment goals. In the process of coping with these difficulties, social workers have actively sought, persuaded and supported the NEET youths to participate in the project, adapted the time, place and method to the youth, and removed the stigmatization element in the project. They also worked closely with local residents, local institutions and municipalities, formed networks, and changed the viewpoint of providing work experience rather than getting young people, but seeing long-term outcome. As a result, social workers have experienced not only individual change but also social welfare organization, field, community and local institutional change. Based on these results, this study suggested that the social welfare practice field should provide various activities in the process of supporting the youth gap year policy. In addition, this study suggests that the social workers play a role in connecting various actors rather than suppliers when working with young people, and that the social welfare field should expand the scope of project to include youth.
