RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a non-financial Agreement with the California State University, Sacramento for student internship placement(s) for social work field experience in the County for the period September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Agreement will not affect department expenditures. This is a non-financial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The California State University, Sacramento (CSUS) provides Nursing, Allied Health, and Social Work Programs, and desires its students to obtain practical experience at agencies to facilitate acquiring professional field experience. Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) desires to participate in CSUS’ student internship program in the field of Social Work. EHSD can provide students with practical experience in their chosen field of Social Work and contribute to the learning experience.

This Agreement contains mutual indemnification and insurance language, which has been reviewed and approved by County’s Risk Management Department.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

EHSD would not be able to help develop, provide field experience, and promote County employment to future County Social Workers. In addition, EHSD would not be able to provide field experience to EHSD Social Worker Staff to support professional development in obtaining higher education and potential career advancement opportunities within EHSD.
