Human Services

Visit some websites that advertise jobs (e.g., http://www.indeed.com/, http://www.simplyhired.com/, http://www.monster.com/) and search for positions that require a human services degree. Describe three different positions that you find. List the name of each position, the name of the agency, and three sentences about the responsibilities of the position.

When responding to your classmates, share with them if you found any of the positions they posted interesting and why or why not.

Visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ website, specifically the pages on Social and Human Service Assistants and Community and Social Service Occupations. Also visit the What Is Human Services? page of the National Organization for Human Services. In a journal posting, share what type of agency you might be interested in working for and what type of human services network (e.g., community resources) you would need to familiarize yourself with in order to address the needs of your clients. How would you develop this network? For example, if you wanted to work in a Head Start program for children ages 3–4, parents would probably ask you for resources that cover medical care, food, housing, and clothing.
