Field Instruction

Field Instruction 

How do we choose our FI agency? 

Students are encouraged to recommend an FI agency or community where they wish to conduct their Field Instruction for approval of the Program Chair. Following the work-study scheme, the FI agency/ community can be the agency where the student is working, in consideration of the nature of the UPOU DMSW students, subject to the approval of the Program Chair. 

Below are the minimum considerations in selecting and approving agencies/organizations to become FI agencies:

1. The interest of the agency in providing field instruction to students;

2. The agency’s affiliation preferably with a licensed and accredited institution/ agency or other organizations and with accredited programs;

3. The agency’s existing programs and services that can meet the expectations/objectives of fieldwork enrolled in;

4. The agency has qualified and willing (at least one) licensed social workers who will provide instruction/supervision to students;
