Social Work - Career Know-How

Welcome to the varied and compassionate world of social work. If you want to turn your passion for helping people into a career path, then you've come to the right place.

Social workers help people in all sorts of ways. From helping clients one-on-one to advocating for change in social conditions, you can find social workers in a wide variety of fields and industries. It's a great fit for people who enjoy variety in their work lives.


Social workers help people of all ages to deal with challenging situations, from dealing with emotions to helping them find solutions to the problems and difficulties they might be having. To survive and thrive in this career, you will need to have a drive for helping people that can keep you going as you might be exposed to distressing and emotionally draining situations. Emotional intelligence, empathy, and compassion are essential.

For clinical work and more senior positions you will need a master's degree, but with a bachelor's degree and an internship behind you, many options will be open to you. Be sure to check the specific requirements of the country you intend to work in, to be sure of what's required for licensure and the positions you are interested in.
