Student Resources
CWTAP promotes training excellence for Washington state’s child welfare workforce through the financial support of social work students and professionals. This state-funded partnership links the resources of UW School of Social Work, Alliance for Child Welfare Excellence, and the state’s Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF).
For over 30 years, CWTAP provides qualified participants with specialized field education focused on casework in select DCYF offices. The field experience centers on topics such as abuse-and-neglect prevention, protective services, permanency planning, solution-based casework, and competency in working with diverse populations.
Once students complete their BASW studies, they commit to either a) seeking employment with DCYF and working for DCYF for a time period equal to the time they received financial assistance or b) applying for the UW Advanced Standing MSW program and obtaining their MSW through the CWTAP MSW program before completing their DCYF payback time through employment.
Example of how DCYF employment payback works for students who complete their studies with a BASW: a typical student who earns their BASW through CWTAP receives financial assistance over three quarters, equivalent to 9 months. This means upon graduation, the student needs to obtain and maintain employment with DCYF in a qualifying position for 9 months before satisfying their DCYF payback time.
Example of how DCYF employment payback works for students who complete their studies with a MSW through the Advanced Standing Program: a typical student who earns their MSW through the Advanced Standing CWTAP MSW program receives financial assistance over six quarters, equivalent to 18 months. This means upon graduation, the student needs to obtain and maintain employment with DCYF in a qualifying position for 18 months before satisfying their DCYF payback time.
Career Resources
Fully Accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE)
Many of our BASW students choose to continue and earn their Masters or PhDs in Social Work, including our accelerated MSW program exclusively for those with BASW degrees from accredited programs. Graduates then have the ability to become licensed clinical social workers and serve in a wide range of roles in the mental health field and beyond. Students may also go on to pursue graduate degrees in related fields such as Public Health, Psychology, Education, or Law.
All Council on Social Work Education programs measure and report student learning outcomes. Students are assessed on their mastery of the competencies which comprise the accreditation standards of the Council on Social Work Education.
These competencies are dimensions of social work practice which all social workers are expected to master during their professional training. A measurement benchmark is set by the social work programs for each competency. An assessment score at or above that benchmark is considered by the program to represent mastery of that particular competency.
The form below is used to assist the COA in the evaluation of the program’s compliance with Accreditation Standards stated below.
- 4.0.2 The program provides evidence of ongoing data collection and analysis and discusses how it uses assessment data to affirm and /or make changes in the explicit and implicit curriculum to enhance student performance.
- 4.0.5 The program appends the summary data for each measure used to assess the attainment of each competency for at least one academic year prior to the submission of the self-study.

Writing Center
As social workers, writing is one of our most powerful advocacy tools. Developing our writing skills can help us work more effectively to solve the demanding social problems we face each day. The Social Work Writing Center provides both hands-on assistance and reference materials to improve your writing skills.
The incoming 2025-2026 writing tutors are excited to work with you soon!
