Rosewood is proud of our student program and we believe that we provide a superior learning experience for social work students as they prepare to enter the field. This program was the brainchild of Danita Hibbs, our Systems Manager who conceived and administers this program.
This is not just a program of grunt-work for students. They are required to gain experience working with clients under the supervision of qualified staff and to write file notes on their experiences.
We host students from Conestoga, Fanshaw, Mohawk Colleges, as well as other post-secondary institutions.
