Instead of the typical “general” then “specialist” placement format, SSW students have the opportunity to complete a single continuous specialized placement aligned with their pathway. Focusing on one placement allows you to build a deep, meaningful relationship with your clients and the community you work with, while providing stability for your agency and supervisor. Participating in one placement also provides the opportunity to hone relevant, transferable skills over the course of at least three semesters at an agency that is tied to your career goals and interests.
