Social Work Practicum
For practical social work experience, there is no better place to start your career than the Chicago Center. Through our placements, you can work in a variety of fields: refugee and immigrant services, medical social work, family services, HIV/AIDS services, community organizing and more. You’ll be guided through the program in a weekly seminar, offering mentor advice and professional development.
Just like without TeachChicago! program, we encourage you to set up a pre-program visit to tour your placement site, meet the staff you’ll be working with, and see what our neighborhood and housing is like.
Credit
You’ll enroll on campus for the same credits as if you were staying there to complete the Practicum Semester.
Your certification requirements for your state and campus’ program will be met by your Chicago Center program.
Check with your department or campus liaison for more information.
