Learning Journey to Nationwide Children’s Hospital Prepares Students for Careers

March 2, 2017

What types of job opportunities are available at Nationwide Children’s Hospital? Is there a difference between domestic violence and intimate partner violence? How early should you arrive before an interview?

Answers to these questions and more are just a small sample of what a group of students learned during their visit to The Center for Family Safety and Healing at Nationwide Children’s Hospital on Tuesday, February 21.  College of Social Work students spent a half-day at the center as part of the colleges’ new Learning Journey Program. This unique and engaging program is designed for social work students and pre-majors to tour an agency, discover its mission and meet social workers in that agency to get a better sense of what they do on a daily basis.

At this destination, students toured the facility, listened to an overview about the center and heard invaluable information from human resources recruiters and consultants. A panel, comprised of center coordinators and managers, a psychologist and a Franklin County Prosecutors Office representative, also discussed their roles and how they work together.

“Participating in the Learning Journey was a wonderful experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it,” says Marsha A. Cuveilje, a BSSW student at the college. “It exposed me and the other students attending to the many facets of social work practice and the variety of careers that are available in our field.”

This Learning Journey marks the second visit of its kind. The first was held in October 2016.
