Urges Governor and Legislature to establish initiatives towards education of social workers.

This Senate Resolution urges the Governor and Legislature of New Jersey to create initiatives that support the education of social work students. The bill specifically calls for the development of scholarships and loan repayment programs to help students pursuing bachelor's and graduate degrees in social work. By addressing high student debt and low salaries in the field, the resolution aims to encourage more individuals to enter social work careers and maintain a qualified workforce. The measure does not mandate funding but instead requests legislative action to establish financial support mechanisms for social work education.
