RECOMMENDATIONS:

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

 

The University of California, Berkeley School of Social Welfare (UCB) provides degree programs in the field of Social Work and requires its Master’s in Social Work (MSW) students to obtain practical experience at agency facilities to acquire professional field experience.  Employment and Human Services (EHSD) desires to participate in UCB’s student internship placement program in the field of Social Work.  EHSD can provide UCB students with practical experience in their chosen field of Social Work and contribute to the learning experience.

This Student Placement Agreement contains mutual indemnification and insurance language, which has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel and Risk Management.

EHSD would not be able to help develop, provide field experience, and promote County employment to potential future County Social Workers.
