Social Work Post Graduate Diploma

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has anticipated that a 16% increase in employment will be seen during the time from 2008 to 2018 for social workers. While a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement for employment, in many cases a master's degree is openly preferred.
