Bringing vulnerable back into fold
Social work is a profession dedicated to bringing individuals who’ve been knocked down by abuse or neglect, financial hardship or lack of necessities back into the fold of a caring society.
Social workers have a vital role in society. If a career helping others overcome challenges and realize their full potential appeals to you, our program is your starting point!
