In most states, you cannot obtain a license for clinical work immediately after graduating from your MSW program. Instead, you are required to complete an extended period of paid, full-time work after you obtain your MSW but before you take a clinical licensing exam. For all the requirements for your particular state, you should consult the Association of Social Work Boards.[2] Many states also require supervised work for nonclinical social workers in addition to clinical social workers. You will probably already have a professional network in place from your field work experience during your MSW; you should explore all your connections from your field work to look for supervised work. You should also talk to your professors, your colleagues, and alumni from your program about potential job opportunities.   You can conduct a nation-wide search for supervised work at the JobLink section of the National Association of Social Workers web site.[3]. You can also check job listings on government web sites for health and human services, hospitals and mental health clinics, school districts for educational roles, etc. Many states require that your supervisor have a degree in Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) and an MSW if you are being supervised for clinical work. That means you cannot complete work under a supervisor who has a different kind of license for mental health care. Make sure that your supervisor is approved by your state's chapter of the Association of Social Work Board; you do not want to spend time working in a position that will not count toward the hours you need in order to take the licensing exam because your supervisor does not have the appropriate credentials. Most states require a minimum number of hours to in order to apply for a license; generally, this is around 3,000 hours. You must also document these hours according to your state's requirements.
