Addressing Class in Field: Economic Justice and Unpaid Social Work Practicums

Friday, October 25, 2024
10:30 AM – 11:30 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2215B
Earn 1 CE Hour
As a profession, social work can no longer ignore the impact that unpaid practicums have on our students, especially those from systemically-oppressed communities. A safety net of paid internships is needed for low-income students, which would align our values with our practice and increase the representation of marginalized groups.

Learning Objectives:

  1. describe the impact that unpaid internships have on students, especially those from systemically-oppressed communities
  2. demonstrate understanding of the ways that programs have successfully secured funding for internships
  3. apply their learning to a case study and develop a multi-level intervention plan
