The state’s then-10graduate schools of social work, the county departments of social services and mentalhealth, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), and the California Chapter ofthe National Association of Social Workers (NASW) formed this consortium to create a uniquepartnership dedicated to improving the education and training of social workers for all ofthe state’s publicly supported social services: the CalSWEC).
