UNC, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, 27517
Overview
The PSLP Workforce Development Curriculum Engineer will work directly with the Assistant Dean of Workforce Development and within the School of Social Work Office of Community Engagement and Outreach to spearhead the design and implementation of comprehensive learning programs for pre-service and in-service social work practitioners and students at pre-college, community college, undergraduate and graduate levels. This leadership role encompasses developing innovative curricula focused on public sector social work practice and engagement with underserved populations within the social work workforce. This initiative plans to develop and offer a statewide, multi-tiered public sector service delivery curriculum to select students participating in the PSLP. The purpose of this curriculum is to spark interest in pursuing public sector career opportunities and, for those already engaged in the social work workforce, to add a credential to enable career advancement and acquisition and competency of advanced skills. The Public Sector Service Delivery curriculum will include 5 certificate programs. Three of the certificates will target pre-service students at the pre-BSW, BSW and MSW levels and the other two certificates will target in-service practitioners at the post-BSW and post-MSW levels. Each certificate program will encompass a core set of common elements: a degree and/or curriculum enhancement to leverage foundational instruction; a tuition-free continuing education credential, with curriculum development and instructional costs incurred and covered through the initiative; emphasis on direct service; content focused on North Carolina's critical service delivery areas; a virtual delivery model to enhance accessibility; and a co-instruction model of university faculty, agency professionals, and individuals with lived experiences. Each certificate will also include immersive, in-person learning experiences, virtual professional learning team engagement and some asynchronous online course completion.
