It depends mainly on two things: what kind of social worker are they, and what are the licensing requirements in your locality. If you're talking about a licensed clinical social worker in a locality that regulates such titles, then they're independent mental health professionals with the training, experience, and (hopefully) ability to diagnose and treat mental disorders. \n\nOther than licensed clinical social workers, however, social workers have a huge variety of roles and what they do and what expectations they're expected to live up to vary depending on where they work.

Contact you local Department of Family and Children Services.  You normally have to take classes as part of the application.

You would most likely need a psychology or sociology degree with some experience working with children & family services.  Your work experience would probably qualify you more than the actual degree area in which you majored.

In most states you only need a Bachelors degree in some "related" field, like psychology, and 1 year of child care experience.  You can then actually be called a "counselor" or have some such title.  Most not for profit agencies even take less education depending on experience. You can also be "licensed or certified" to do "substance abuse counseling" with a GED and required number of hours of coursework prescribed by the certifying body. Real expertise, of course, is gained by experience in the field and education- Masters level is where you may be considered a real professional and paid a reasonable wage.

In most states, you have to have a masters degree in some form of counseling, psychology, or social work.  If you want to go into this area, an MSW (Master of Social Work) is the most versatile degree.  Then most states will want you to be licensed.  It is not required, but if you want to get a job, you will have to have it in most places.  That may either be an exam, or hours of supervision plus an exam.  If you are interested in specifics on licensure in either Illinois or Indiana, I could help you with that. \nIt is possible to counsel without a masters.  In this case you would need a bachelors in psychology or social work.  If money is a concern, don't try to go this route because you will make very little, and there is no way to advance without a masters.

You can't get a license, but the driver's license office will give you a state I.D. for a fee.  You have to bring some forms of I.D.--check their website for the requirements for your state (office of motor vehicles).  It might be birth certificate, social security card, etc.

It's called experience! Plus a license from the state. Call the secretary of State's office and ask them to send you the requirements and/or to guide you where and how!

You will need to successfully complete a dentistry program in college/university, which requires high science marks from high school.  Such programs can be expensive.  Then I believe you work as an assistant for an established dentist for a period of time before you're allowed to be licensed.

I think it is possible to go into social work with a 4-yr, but I think many require (or prefer) a 6-yr degree (Masters).  Also, I think BA's are a little more relevant to community/social work than a B.S. \n\n I attached an article  from 2000, but it is helpful...\n\n\nGOOD LUCK!

I'm not sure of the requirements for the document, but... Why not start with a little introduction about how you started in social care and where you are now? Then summarize your key work practices. Each paragraph can expand on each work practice.\n\nJust some ideas -- hope it helps.

i am studying to be a social worker in London and the main thing they want before letting you study is experience. I'm not sure how old you have to be when you leave school but maybe you could start off doing voluntary work in a care home or that environment. its hard to say to much as like i say I'm not sure on the education system over there. however you do it i wish you all the luck as there is not enough social workers but too many people needing them.

Contact the licensing agent in your county or state. They can tell you the licensing requirements. You can also check with some of the technical or community colleges in your state to see if they have classes or certification courses for becoming a general contractor, and see what they require. In many states, the only requirement is becoming licensed. Many people in this field start out as general labor for construction companies and work their way up.
