NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES IN SOCIAL WORK

"New and challenging opportunities in the social work field are de­veloping in public service for college men and women," states Dr, Ellen Winston, Commissicner of Welfare of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, D.C. There is new em­phasis on welfare services in the public assistance program for pre­vention of dependency and for re­habilitation and there are related activities in the "war on poverty" under the Economic Opportunity Act, These developments have increased the need for persons with a bach­elor's degree to fill case work pooitioiiG in State and local welfare E~«nciec.

Most State civil service or merit systems are currently scheduling spring examinations which college seniors are eligible to tnke. Many public welfare agencies also offer summer employment opportunities to undergraduates, particularly be­tween the junior and senior years.

All State and many local welfare agencies have educational leave plans to assist promising employees in securing graduate training, and there are many scholarships avail- “ able in schools of social work. Persons who receive a master's de­gree from a school of social work will have excellent opportunities for advancement because of the shortages in this profession.

Personal qualities essential for success in any type of social work are emotional maturity and a basic interest in helping people solve their personal and social problems. The majority of social workers in public agencies provide social serivce to individuals, families or groups. However, a large number of positions call for administra­tive, consulative and supervisory abilities.

Details about opportunities, scholarships and requirements for admission to graduate schools of social work may be obtained from the National Commission for Social Work Careers, 345 East 46th Street, New York, New York 10017, or from the Welfare Administration, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, D,C.

For persons with a feeling for people, and who are Interested in helping them, social work is a challenging and a rewarding profession.
