Upon my search for starting a career in social work, I learned that to become a clinical social worker you have to be licensed for the state of NC. I have a felony on my record (conspiracy) is it possible for me to accomplish this goal? If so what other careers can I pursue?

Hi, workingmom7!

It might be possible for you to accomplish your goal. However, the final say would be up to a licensure board.

How long ago did you commit the felony and is there a reason why you're not directing your inquiry to a licensure board, please?

Below is the link for the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board.
