Career Opportunities
The employment picture for the social work profession continues to
be positive, not only at the local level but regionally and nationally
as well. As cited in a recent issue of Time Magazine, social work
ranked among the "15 Hottest Fields" in the number of jobs which will
be available nationwide during the next decade.
Specifially,
graduates of the program at Findlay do extremely well. For example, 75
percent of the graduating class of 2005 had either found employment or
been admitted to graudate school prior to graduation.
And approximately 90 percent of our graduates who have sat for the
national social work licensure examination have passed it.
Graduates
over the past decade have found employment throughout the country in
such varied areas as child welfare, medical social work, the adult and
juvenile justice systems, community organization, geriatrics, the
Social Security Administration, developmental disabilities,
transitional living shelters, and mental health.
