In an attempt to increase support for current social workers and encourage more students to enter the occupation, a bill called the SUPER Act is under consideration in the Massachusetts Legislature. This act would provide stipends for students, incentivize licensed social workers to mentor student trainees, and remove the Association of Social Workers Board exam from master’s degree requirements. The SUPER Act, which stands for Social Work Uplifting Practices and Exam Removal, aims to increased the workforce by tearing down barriers to the profession. A state-funded grant program would provide stipends for master’s degree students in unpaid work-based placements, prioritizing first-generation students, students of color, and marginalized communities.
