SOWK 344 — Long Vacation Fieldwork (8 Weeks)
Social Work · University of Ghana
The long vacation fieldwork provides an important opportunity for practical learning for students. It provides students the opportunity to understand how social service and social development agencies work, and to apply theories they have learnt in class to practice in the field. This experience helps students to find their identity as aspiring social workers and to choose the area of the profession they would like to pursue. The field work is for a period of eight (8) weeks from June to July. Students are required to be in the field for five full working days per week and 40 hours per week. Students are placed with governmental and nongovernmental agencies across the country. The students are supervised by Professionals in the various agencies where they are placed, as well as Faculty from the Department of Social Work, University of Ghana. The Department of Social Work provides students with Fieldwork Manuals to guide them during the field placement.
