What's up with the Licensing Exam?

We’re back for Season 6 of The Queens of Social Work podcast and we’re kicking things off with a career-focused episode!  As social workers, advancing your career often means taking the licensing exam—but what happens when the journey isn’t smooth?

In this episode, we’re joined by Queen T, aka Tabatha from The 4air Project, who shares her inspiring story of resilience and perseverance in tackling the licensing exam.  Whether you’re taking it for the first, second or even third time, her journey will motivate you to keep pushing forward and not give up.

We also dive into the data released by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), which highlights the inequities and systemic biases in the exam that disproportionately impact people of color.  This discussion sheds light on the challenges many social workers face and the need for change in the field.

Resources Mentioned:

• Connect with Tabatha on Instagram @the4airproject for updates, resources and materials for parents supporting their children’s education.
• Explore the ASWB data: 2022 ASWB Exam Pass Rate Analysis.
