The Advanced Internship Experience I course is the first of a two-semester sequence and concurrent internship that combine to develop your advanced integrative practice perspective serving diverse, historically discriminated against, and oppressed client populations. Learners will build upon their Foundational Practice Experience to further develop their skills with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations through demonstrating social work knowledge, ethics, values, and skills in a community-based social work setting. The course's Seminar component provides a collaborative learning environment for reflecting on professional growth within your agency centering on the core CSWE Social Work Competencies. Learners will complete agency internship hours (at least 250 hours per semester is required by CSWE accreditation standards). Total number of hours will be determined by the Office of Social Work Internships (OSWI) and informed by agency, programmatic, societal, environmental, and/or policy-related factors.
