What is one Social Work job/position that you didn’t was an option prior to this DB?
Are you ready to be even more excited about the field of Social Work???!! Many of my students have a very narrow view of the opportunities that exist for them upon graduation. Yes, there are the typical jobs that we all think about first when contemplating the Social Work profession. These include things like Case Managers, Therapists, DHR/C&Y/CPS workers, etc. However, did you know there are so many other career options out there? For example, did you know there are international Social Work positions? Or government contracted positions that allow you to travel around the US, and possibly abroad? How about the corporate world? Did you know that many big companies, such as Caterpillar often hire their own in-house Social Worker to assist their employees? You could also use this degree to teach college courses like this one! Anyway, this week is all about exploring roles and different options for you in this field.
