This week-long conference will allow final year students to engage with experts from Social Work and Social Care Academies from Local Authorities across the country, providing insight into the schemes they offer Newly Qualified Social Workers embarking on their ASYE, sharing advice to help you find the best match as you launch your social work career.

 

Live and pre-recorded webinars will let you engage with a range of social work professionals at local authorities who would like to discuss your first job with you. You can learn more about local authorities’ practice principles, including what makes them different and the key areas they focus on with Newly Qualified Social Workers, as well as the support and training they provide as your ASYE progresses.
