29 JAN 2024 · This episode is from a second group of undergraduate students from my Social Welfare Policy class in Fall 2023. They took my challenge to put together a recording that I could use in my podcast that would demonstrate what they learned in class.
This assignment was part of their group project. Each group had to make a presentation that covered these four questions:
What is the problem you have identified in your community and why does this problem exist?
What are the potential solutions to this problem?
How does a relationship with your elected official and/or staff help you to implement solutions to your problem?
As a social worker what will be your role in influencing government policies that affect your clients and their communities?
Their presentations had to demonstrate that they could analyze the connection between their relationships with elected officials/staff and the policy-making process.
Their project focused on a city called El Monte, CA, population 107,000, which is about 18 miles East of Downtown Los Angeles. Congratulations to my students for their contribution to this podcast:

27 NOV 2023 · Dr. Jacob Kendall helps social workers embrace their macro, pivot their careers, and land their next job (in 90 days). He's a résumé wizard and a true wordsmith (his clients' words). Jacob envisions more social workers not only breaking into other industries, but becoming leaders in those areas. He contends that there is no table at which social workers don't belong. He has a truly interdisciplinary background, having formally studied biology, demography, public health, social work, gerontology, and theology, and being an avid reader across a wide range, from horror fiction to quantum mechanics, with forays in history, geography, animal behavior, and philosophy. Unsurprisingly, his favorite professional endeavor is bridging gaps between disparate disciplines, and helping others -- especially social workers -- do the same. On a side note, he's visited 25 countries so far, identifies as an amateur birdwatcher, and has been tickling ivories since age 6.
