CLEARFIELD –Lock Haven University Clearfield recently announced a new degree offering in social work. Although this degree has been offered at the Lock Haven campus for many years, it will now be available to those who choose to stay in the Clearfield area.
Annjane Ross, LCSW, RPT-S, assistant professor of social work and clinical mental health counseling and long-time resident of Clearfield, has taught in the program for more than 20 years and will lead the program at Clearfield.
According to Ross, there is a great need for this degree offering. The job market for social workers is growing exponentially and will continue to grow as the population ages. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics reports that the need for social workers will increase by 13 percent until 2029, much faster than average for all occupations.
