|
The Certificate in Social Work is designed for professionals who desire greater preparation, knowledge and skills in the fundamentals of clinical social work. The current utilization of social workers as a component of social and human services is undeniable. However, perceptions and policies of the nation's politicians have influenced operational variability in the field. Thus, we observe a gradual decrease in government support of social services coupled with increased demands to privatize important segments of the social services. In spite of these factors, the need for qualified and educated social workers continues to grow in an ever-changing diverse society and disparate economy. |
