COURSE PURPOSE

Social Work puts people in a responsible position, which requires training and professionalism. Being interested in people is important, but it's not enough. Social Workers also have to be quick-thinking, thorough, persuasive above all, absolutely committed in seeing that what needs to be done gets done. As a Social Worker you never give up on people. And when the solutions fall into place, the results can be very rewarding.
