Can students who are employed in the field of social work use that paid position as their field placement?
Students may apply for an Employment Based Field Learning (EBFL) placement for their Advanced Concentration year. Applications are reviewed by the Field Learning department for approval, which is based on the timely submission of the EBFL application, the integrity of the placement as a field learning site, having passed the probationary period at the agency, and the ability of the agency to fulfill the educational goals of the Advanced Concentration requirements (Students are not allowed to progress into Advanced Concentration placement without the completion of all professional foundation requirements). Field Learning assignments must be different from what job assignments had been, and there must be a person available to provide Field Instruction who is different from the work supervisor.
