If you ever wanted to be a social worker or to be in social work, this article is for you. In it you'll learn everything you need to know before applying in school in the social work program. I want you to be concerned by all the facts that were been expressed in this article.
When you are a social worker you can take care of everyone. You can go with a young child and older person. You work to stimulate or to keep the person's autonomy. In most of the cases, you work with a great work team. The people are nice and every person you work with to.
Every social worker has different tasks to do. Depending on, the workplace you work in, they can work with young people who have learning problem. Working with old people to maintain their capacities of doing things for them. Same if you work for the government or a local organism. Your task may vary.
Depending where you work. Taking example of a CHSLD. The day starts a 9 a.m. and finish at 5 p.m. During this time, we do activities with every residents. We are insuring that everyone's safe and OK. At 12 p.m., there's a lunch and at 1 p.m. we are back on track. We even help other workers on place. We have a different type of intervention with the clients that we are working with.
This is a good question. Think of a place anywhere in the world. Probably that a social work work there. They work in hospital, in residence for elderly people. They even work with the lawyer to help their clients in court. From the young child to the oldest person on earth, the social workers can work literally everywhere.
To be a social worker the province of Quebec, you need a diploma from a secondary school (high school equivalent) Which we call a DES. After, you can apply in Cegep around you. Be careful, not every cegep offer the social work program. When you're in the program, you'll do three years of study, and you can work as a social worker technician. After these studies, you can go to the university to get another two years of study to be a real social worker.
This varies a lot from where you work as a social worker. From the website of the CISSS-CA, we learn that a social worker can make as mush as 2800 per month. In an organism, you can't really know how. For sure, you'll make the minimum salary which is $14,25 per hour.
Any social worker can do training about everything that they want to train. In the CISSS, you have a platform that's called "Formations ENA". This is a program with a lot of training about everything. However, you also have some certificates at the university that you can also do.
Depending on where you work, you can be slapped or kick. You can be threatened to.
No chances of being replaced. A robot can't feel all the emotions that patients have. That don't have the same technique of human contact that we have.
Depending on where you work. In the CISSS, you can retire around the age of 55 years old. Some of the social workers retire for 50 to 65 years old.
Now, I have completed one year of study at the Cegep in social work program, and I don't, for the moment, plan to do university, but certificates are something that I want to explore.
