The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the education needed to be considered for a social work Internship. They want to hear if you have a degree, certificates, or any other specialized training that qualifies you to work in this field. Before you applied for the position, you must have met the minimum requirements the agency needs to work as an intern with their organization. Assure the interviewer you have met the educational requirements for the position.

Focus on describing what degree you have obtained in social work or if you have attended a program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). If you are currently working towards your master's degree, describe where you are in the process.

Carefully review the job announcement before the interview to ensure you meet the agency's needs. You want to avoid not having the minimum educational requirements for the position. For example, if the qualifications for the job are to be currently enrolled in an MSW program with a focus on school social work, you want to make sure you meet those requirements.
