It's graduation time for some students studying social work at James Madison University.

Many of them are finding jobs here in the Valley.

Nineteen students are graduating Saturday from the social work program.

Dawn Keister says she chose this program because of the high demand for social workers.

"The Department of Labor has said that Social Work is one of the fastest growing professions so it opens up a lot of possibilities. Human Services is a post industrial is so the human service field is wide open," said Keister.

Keister has a job interview set up the week after Christmas.
