Do you take un-paid placement students? Do you have a social worker with a social work degree on site (MSW or BSW). If not, do you have someone interested in taking a student on at this time? If so, what is their educational background? How long have they been at the agency? What are the learning opportunities at this agency? May I have the potential field instructor’s contact information (phone number and ext. and e-mail address)? Put this information on your application if you are interested in them and they’ve met these requirements up above. The Field Office can follow-up from there.
