During their placements, they work under the guidance of licensed social workers, assisting with client assessments, case management, and community outreach.

Familiarity with case management software, documentation systems, and mandated reporting procedures is often required. Strong empathy, cultural sensitivity, and effective communication help interns connect with clients and work well within multidisciplinary teams.
