Abstract: From the practical point of view, the current cultivation of Taiwanese social work supervisors is mainly conducted by nongovernmental professionals (or trade associations), with the authority only restricting the rough education background, qualification and number of social work supervisors. The cultivation usually takes two forms, namely in and outside the organizations. The former is characterized by opportunity exploitation, purposeful cultivation and mandatory promotion, while the latter is carried out by either professional associations or external supervisors, carried out by teachers in high learning institutions or senior practitioners. The professional associations often give some courses, which last from several days to even months. With the increasing demand for social work supervisors and unavoidable flow of talents, the concurrent model of training supervisors and marshaling peer supervisors as substitutes will be beneficial to the hatching of supervision talents.

Key words: Taiwanese social work supervisor, social work supervision talent, service quality, peer supervisor
