Portfolios are developed by all students during this course and any other field work courses for this major.
Typically students will have placements in agencies where they will be supervised by social workers, or human service administrators. They will be practicing interaction with clients, staff and communities while engaging in the skills of advocacy, communication, documentation, and program development. Because they are undergraduates they will not perform tasks expected of graduate students in a field placement. Rather, they will be performing tasks that will prepare them to apply for positions in agencies generally filled by someone with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services.
