Social workers play a crucial role in society by empowering and supporting people to live independently, help protect vulnerable people from harm and abuse, act as advocates, and direct people to the services they are much in need of. To become a social worker, you need to have done a diploma or a certificate course in social work and community development.
While there are myriads of colleges in Kenya offering diploma and certificate courses in social work and community development, it is advisable to do your studies in accredited and well-known colleges so as to get valid certificates recognizable by employers.
