How does School of Social Work choose the right student for my agency?
During the field education application process, the Field Office becomes familiar with the student’s expressed interest and future career plans. Many other factors are also taken into consideration while selecting a student for an agency placement. These factors include the student’s past work and volunteer experiences, specific educational needs as perceived by the Field Office, the student’s capacity to function in a particular agency setting and work with a particular Field Instructor, and the agency’s ability to work with the particular student.
