I'm reaching out to seek advice on how we can best support our virtual Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) students as they search for practicum opportunities in their local communities. Our university is based in Kansas City, Missouri, but our students are spread across North America, and we want to make sure they have the resources they need to find meaningful placements close to home.
If you have any tips or suggestions on how to help students find suitable practicum spots, I'd love to hear from you. Specifically, I'm looking for advice. What has worked for you and your program?
