Why Social Work?

If you like to help people and are good at maneuvering through complex situations, social work should be on your list of career options! Social work is a practice-based profession that promotes social change, development, cohesion and the empowerment of people and communities. It involves the understanding of the social welfare system, social problems, policy responses of society and the connection to economic and cultural institutions.

You might find social workers in veterans’ affairs, adoption agencies, schools, rehabilitation facilities, housing and community development, counseling private practice, hospitals and many other settings.
