WWW.SIMMONS.EDU/SSW 28 The Simmons M.S.W.— a degree in demand According to the U.S. Department of Labor, social work employment is expected to increase through 2018. The aging baby boom generation is driving the demand for gerontology social workers. Likewise, the need for social workers specializing in substance abuse and medical and public health is predicted to rise. “ While we very much hold on to traditional ways of doing social work, we also recognize the need to teach students the most current, evidence-based practices. We are constantly reviewing our curriculum to integrate new forms of treatments, interventions, and resources. We’re training social workers for today’s job market.” MICHAEL MELENDEZ, M.S.W., PH.D. PROFESSOR AND CHAIR OF THE FOUNDATION CURRICULUM Over 30 percent of Simmons social work students are offered jobs by at least one of their internship sites.
