Abstract
Knowledge of local industries, their characteristics, and their needs is the basis for developing potential field placement sites in industry. This article presents a variety of approaches for schools of social work in developing industrial field placements based on factors such as type of industry, workforce size, extent of existing industrial health and employee assistance efforts, and the national, regional, or local status of the industry.
