• POE Approval Process: Four Corners

  Please give yourself as much time as possible to go through the POE process; it can take up to six weeks for approval.

  Start the steps as soon as possible. Communicate early and often with your supervisors and field liaison to make sure the process is on track.

  Step 1: Let your DU field liaison know that you are considering a POE placement.

  Step 2: Download the Place of Employment Internship Packet (linked on the main field education - student resource portal page since the packets are applicable to all programs) 

  Step 3: You, your DU field liaison, and your agency supervisors will meet to complete the Place of Employment Internship Packet to document and learn more about the learning opportunities available and how this will meet required social work competencies. You MUST complete the POE packet to receive a passing grade in field. You only need to do the POE packet once per academic year.

  Step 4: Receive approval from Four Corners Assistant Director depending on outcome of agency meeting.

  Step 5: If not already completed, complete the site placement process in ELC
