SLWK 213 involves supervised study and practice. Students spend 24-32 hours a week in a social service agency. After an initial orientation period, students are expected to assume responsibility for assigned work in order to enhance their knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in social work methods, and actively engage in social work practice. During agency work, attention is given to teaching you specific skills, developing competence in terms of offering services to clients, and participating in overall agency programs. Biweekly seminars focus on integrating the program philosophy, common themes and social work theory with practicum experiences. Direct Field hours = 350 hrs, Integration Seminar hours = 21, TOTAL HOURS = 371 hrs NOTE: Students must achieve a minimum of a “C” grade in this placement in order to get credit for the course.
