The Southern Christian College-College of Social Work has conducted an in-person seminar on Case Management with Case Study Writing to its incoming senior students of the A.Y. 2023-2024. This was held last August 11,12 and 13, 2023 at the SCC-EMRC. This is in preparation for their five hundred (500) hours of Field Instruction 1 internship as they will be placed in different welfare agencies in the municipalities of PPALMA, Amas and Kidapawan City.

The three-days seminar was hosted by the former Dean of the CSW, Mrs. Melody A. Ambangan, RSW, MSSW who heartily renders her invaluable knowledge and expertise in this field every year. This activity was held essential to produce graduates who are competent to practice their profession. Thus, the initiative to continually pursue this enrichment activity is deemed significant to equip BSSW graduates with skills they primarily need in actual practice.

Kudos SCC-CSW and congratulations incoming senior students!
