Social Science WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT: AGENCY VISIT—IDENTIFY A SOCIAL WORKER

AGENCY VISIT—IDENTIFY A SOCIAL WORKER

This week, you take the first important step toward completion of your Week 6 Assignment by submitting the name of the agency and social worker you intend to interview. The Assignment you submit here is straightforward, but the result of the choice is important.

Your scheduled interview with a social worker in your community provides the opportunity to deepen your understanding of a social worker’s experience in the “real world.” You can connect your social work inspiration more directly to the field and to practice. Or you may discover a new path or affirm the one you are on. This is also an opportunity to learn about different agencies where you may be interested in completing your field education.
