摘要：This paper describes how eight social work graduates from St. Thomas University, accompanied by an instructor, met together for two years to support each other in the transition from student to qualified social worker. During their first few months all graduates found differences between the world of social work as described in the classroom and the challenges of paid employment. The way that group processes assisted in bridging the gap between university and social work is explored. The author suggests implications for facilitating the transition from undergraduate student to the workplace that may be relevant for social work and also for other professions and disciplines.
