The management of change in the training of professionals in socio-educational services: from the latter years of Francoism to the conclusion of the Valencian democratic transition (1969–1986) Authors Javier Bascuñán Cortés Universitat de València DOI: 10.2436/20.3009.01.315 Keywords: labor universities, agricultural training, cooperativism, sociopsychopedagogical cabinets, volunteering, institutional reform, socio-educational professions Abstract This article describes and analyzes the transformations of some of the old Francoist vocational training institutions, the alternatives that arose to them, and the new developments in the training policies for workers in socio-educational services promoted from the latter years of Francoism until the end of the Valencian democratic transition.The changes in the management of the new democratic institutions and the promotion of new forms of management in the old charitable care centers (psychiatrics, asylums, preventive centers, etc.) made it necessary to create new professional profiles in the field of socio-educational, cultural, and community services.The political transition from Francoism to democracy was accompanied by other transitions, such as those from large charitable care centers to small sheltered homes and community development work. These transitions were not always free of problems, nor did all the experiences promoted manage to consolidate.
