A social worker doesn’t have to take the first job that comes along, or be ready to tackle any problem. In practice, most social workers choose the group they would prefer to work with (e.g. teenagers or the aged), or avoid dealing with particular kinds of groups e.g. the mentally handicapped. The job opportunities of social workers are multiplying as they are being trained to take a much broader view of people’s difficulties.
Professional training in social work demands completion of a postgraduate study programme leading to a Master’s in social work (MSW) degree which is offered in more than 30 universities across the country. Some of the better-known institutes/universities for the MSW programme are : Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai; Nirmala Niketan College of Social Work, Mumbai; Department of Social Work, Delhi University; Faculty of Social Work, M. S. University, Baroda; Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi; Lucknow University; Pali Samgathana Vibhaga, Viswa Bharati, Shantiniketan, West Bengal; Department of Social Work, Bangalore University; Amity Institute of NGO Management, Noida
