Student placements are a important part of the sustainability of our sector
As a community social services organization, we recognize the need to help students gain the practical knowledge and skills necessary to become social service professionals to continue our work in the community.
Placement students help us in executing our mission and vision of enhancing self-sufficiency, promoting well-being and reducing poverty in our community so everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
WoodGreen offers a limited number of college and university placements to students who are studying to work in this sector.
