Initial Writing Assessment

Initial Writing Assessment
1. Discuss your major and how you plan to transfer the skills you learn at LCU to your desired career.
I am a Social Work major and I am at the present time using some of the skills already obtained at LCU in my current job. I am a Family Support Worker and am currently working with children and find it very rewarding. So I don’t know if I would like to change jobs later, but this is where I am happy at now and use several of my skills.
2. Describe the types of writing you will (or think you will) do in your career.
As a Family Support Worker I use e-mail daily and write contact notes to the parent on a constant basis. I also go to several meetings monthly that require taking down the minutes as well as notes for future use.
Why will you write on the job? The job is federally and government funded so it requires a lot of documentation
For whom will you write? We write e-mails or memos to our program director, team lead monitor, health assistant, and other personnel.
What types of global or multicultural audiences can you expect? We have several multicultural audiences. The majority of our clients are migrant workers, low-income families, or just families that have come here from other countries as well as from the Katrina Flood.
