Any degree through a correspondence course holds value when you team it up with relevant work experience. If you are unable to find a suitable job with a non-government organisation (NGO), take up an internship. Hundreds of NGOs are working in various aspects of development, whether poverty alleviation, education, gender issues, with physically or mentally challenged people, or in the area of environment, such as pollution, waste management or wildlife. There are so many areas that require dedicated people. The internship or work experience will not only help you build your portfolio, but will also enable you to evaluate your sense of commitment and motivation towards this career. While formal training is not always necessary, to be effective in this field, a Master’s degree in social work is useful, whether taken through a full-time or correspondence programme.
