The state of Tennessee needs social workers professionally educated and trained in child welfare. The Department of Social Work at ETSU has entered into a partnership with the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services to prepare students for work in public child welfare. We want to recruit, prepare and retain a diverse group of social workers!

Anyone interested in working in the field of child welfare in the state of Tennessee is encouraged to consider applying for the BSW/MSW stipend program. BSW candidates can call Kim Norris at (423) 439.3007 and MSW candidates can contact Sarah Downtain at (423) 439.3005 for more information.
