The 68 social work field instruction students from WPU-Main Campus recently participated in a "3-Day Pre-deployment Seminar-Workshop" centered on agency-based. It aims to capacitate the BSSW fourth-year students with adequate knowledge, skills, and the core values of social work (such as respect for human dignity, social justice, and integrity) in handling managed cases and facilitating group work with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and professional responsibility.

Students gained valuable insights from experienced professionals, interactive discussions, and practical guidelines on navigating complex social issues. The following are the topics covered and lecturers during the mentioned activity:
Topic 1: What is Field Instruction? Dos and Donโ€™ts and Professional Code of Ethics
Asst. Prof. Michell L. Simyunn, RSW, MSW

Topic 2: Use of Gender Fair Language in Field Instruction

Topic 7: Orientation of R.A. 11313, and WPU CODI Manual
Mr. Richard T. Urmenita, RSW

This comprehensive series of discussions and workshops, recognize the critical role that field instruction plays in shaping competent, ethical, and socially responsive social workers. From understanding the foundations of field instruction, professional ethics, and the use of gender-fair language, to mastering technical skills such as case study writing, group work design, planning, process recordings, and progress notes, each session has equipped the soon-to-be social workers with tools essential for professional practice. Furthermore, the orientation on R.A. 11313 and institutional guidelines reinforces the commitment to uphold dignity, equality, and protection in all aspects of work.

These learnings guide them not only in meeting academic requirements but in fostering genuine social change and advocacy for justice, equity, and respect for human rights. May they carry these principles into practice with integrity, competence, and compassion.

Huge congratulations to our 4th-year B.S. Social Work students from WPU-PPC Campus on successfully completing their Pre-Deployment Workshop! Their hard work and dedication shine through! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

The two-day workshop provided thorough preparation for our future social workers. On July 22, 2025, Ms. Cecile Joy M. Evina led engaging sessions on the Helping Process, Ethical Foundations, and Values and Principles of Social Work.

The following day, Ms. Christine S. Garobo guided the students through essential Theories, Approaches, and Methods in social work practice.

Additionally, Ms. Rosalinda S. Novio conducted an orientation on R.A. 7877 (Anti-Sexual Harassment Act) and R.A. 11313 (Safe Spaces Act) on July 31, 2025.

These sessions equipped students with the ethical awareness and practical skills essential for their upcoming deployment, enabling them to serve in their respective agencies with confidence, competence, and integrity! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅฐ
