New Jersey S1161 allows work experience to substitute for certain social work licensure and certification requirements.
New Jersey S1161 supplements the "Social Workers’ Licensing Act of 1991" by enabling the State Board of Social Work Examiners to consider work experience in place of some educational requirements for licensure and certification. The bill allows applicants to submit educational and experiential records to demonstrate their competency for roles such as licensed clinical social worker, licensed social worker, or certified social worker. The board will determine if the applicant's education and experience are satisfactory and if they are competent to perform the associated duties.
