“The course exposed me to both the practical and academic side of things, from completing assignments to researching projects and how to reference.

“I also learned so many skills that are important for the industry I’m going into, including processes that social workers have to follow, how to conduct an assessment of needs, and how to write up a care plan for a patient.”
