Social Work
If you're looking for career training in the very broad field of social services, you should consider the profession of social work. Every day, social workers strive to make a difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. These dedicated professionals care about people and communities in need and help them to achieve their goals. Social workers also value social justice and advocate for policies that promote equity and improve the lives of marginalized communities. Partnering with individuals, families, and communities to find solutions to challenges, and working to improve living and working conditions in communities, are the hallmarks
of the social work profession.
