Goals and Objectives

The California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC) is the nation's largest state coalition of social work educators and practitioners.

Based at the University of California, Berkeley, the School of Social Welfare, CalSWEC was created in 1990 by a partnership of social work educators and practitioners dedicated to developing a professional social service workforce to effectively serve California's diverse population.

The coalition initially focused on public child welfare; however, given the success of that collaborative model, CalSWEC in recent years has expanded its scope to include the fields of mental health and aging.
