The California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC) is unique in the annals of both social work education and the public social services in the state. Never before had the entire social work academic community and the public social services joined forces to improve the education and training of social workers for all the publicly supported social services. When CalSWEC was created ten years ago, this pioneering partnership was recognized across the country for its innovation and foresight. Today, CalSWEC continues to serve as a national leadership model in school/agency partnership. Universities throughout the nation use the California Child Welfare Competencies, developed by CalSWEC, as a starting point for curriculum development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
