Abstract

ABSTRACTNeo-liberalism has driven a crisis in Social Work Field Education (SWFE) globally, creating competition, funding cuts, increased workload, and limited capacity to support students. This has been exacerbated by widespread disruptions associated with the global pandemic and other disasters. This article outlines how one Australian university SWFE team has enhanced placement opportunities for students and industry during times of crisis, via a partnership approach. Outcomes include multiple student placements, joint initiatives, mutual relationship, and reciprocity, placing all students during a pandemic. The article contributes to addressing global SWFE challenges, provides a framework for consideration, and identifies areas for further investigation.IMPLICATIONSAn innovative SWFE partnership model can assist universities and industry to withstand global crises impacting placements.Committed partners and placements, collegial relationships, and a reference group that collaboratively sets agendas for agency and university increases placement opportunities for all students.KEYWORDS: Field EducationPartnershipPlacementSocial WorkCollaborationWork Integrated Learning (WIL)Australia AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge Dr Patrick O’Keeffe and Dr Christina David (School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT) for providing valuable advice and guidance.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

创新的社会工作领域教育伙伴关系模式

摘要新自由主义在全球范围内引发了社会工作领域教育(SWFE)的危机，造成了竞争、资金削减、工作量增加和支持学生的能力有限。与全球大流行病和其他灾害有关的广泛破坏加剧了这种情况。本文概述了澳大利亚西南财经大学的一个团队如何在危机时期通过合作方式为学生和行业增加就业机会。结果包括多个学生安置、联合行动、相互关系和互惠，在大流行期间安置所有学生。本文有助于解决全球主权财富基金面临的挑战，提供了一个考虑框架，并确定了进一步研究的领域。创新的SWFE合作模式可以帮助大学和行业抵御影响就业的全球危机。承诺的合作伙伴和实习，学院关系，以及一个为机构和大学共同制定议程的参考小组，为所有学生增加了实习机会。关键词:实地教育伙伴关系实习社会工作协作工作综合学习(WIL)澳大利亚致谢作者要感谢Patrick O 'Keeffe博士和Christina David博士(RMIT全球、城市和社会研究学院)提供的宝贵建议和指导。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。
