Program InformationWork RequirementsStudents must make a good faith effort to secure employment in a public CWS agency in California upon graduation. Schools will assist students by providing information about job openings and application procedures. Students who are not current public CWS employees must apply to at least all the public CWS agencies within 75 miles of their homes. Students who are employees of a county or state CWS agency must return to that agency and render one year of continuous and satisfactory full time employment (at a level appropriate to a new MSW) for each year of stipend support received. If a position meeting these requirements is not available in the agency to which service is owed, the graduate must apply for and accept an equivalent or higher position in a county CWS agency within a 75-mile radius of her/his home, or in California Department of Social Services, Child Welfare Division. If no qualifying position is available within 6 months of graduation, graduates will be required to apply for and accept a position with any county CWS in the state of California. If no such position is available, graduates may request permission to accept a position in a related county program or nonprofit agency serving IV-E eligible child welfare clients, or a CDSS agency serving children and families. American Indian students with tribal rights may complete the work requirement in the following alternative settings:
