Cert in Social Work

The social work program equips students to enter public and private social service agencies in assistant-level positions. It develops the abilities, understanding, ethics and sensitivity required to meet people's needs in many community environments. Typical job titles include social work assistant and social work aide. The curriculum suits students who want to help individuals and families and who are ready to begin a career in community service while keeping the option of further study open. Georgia Northwestern Technical College publishes a course-by-course pathway for each credential, so enrolled students can see which classes come first and plan their semesters in a sensible order. The college lists this program among its offerings at the campuses it serves in northwest Georgia. Prospective students can request information, arrange a campus visit or submit an application through the college website, and financial aid staff can explain how to pay for the coursework.
