CE Approval Program
Organizations seeking to offer continuing education (CE) programs for
professional social workers are encouraged to apply to our CE approval
program.
Eligible program formats include:
-
Workshops: A structured, time‑limited educational program designed to
provide focused learning on a specific topic or skill area. Workshops
are typically interactive and may include presentations, facilitated
discussions, case studies, hands‑on activities,
or skill‑building exercises. They are intended to enhance participants’
knowledge, competencies, or professional practice within a defined
subject area.
-
Conferences: A multi‑session educational event that brings together
participants to explore a broad theme or field of practice through a
variety of learning formats. Conferences often include keynote
presentations, concurrent sessions, panels, and networking
opportunities, and may span one or more days.
-
Symposia: A focused educational event centered on an in‑depth
examination of a specific issue, emerging topic, or area of research.
Symposia typically feature expert presentations, scholarly discussion,
and facilitated dialogue rather than broad programming.
