This ten-week series will support social workers' preparation for taking the licensing examination. Participants will leave the course with a greater understanding themselves as effective learners, setting goals, and strengthening time management and study skills while developing a greater awareness of the factors that influence success and the habits that can support it. Through discussions and activities, each social worker will review exam content and leave with connections to create a study group and access to our exclusive WSU Social Work Licensure Exam Hub resources available on Canvas.

These virtual sessions will take place on Fridays from 12:30 – 1:30 pm EST on Zoom from January 13, 2022 - March 17, 2023. This series will cover the following topics:
