Manitoba Inner City Social Work autobiography
The Inner City ACCESS Bachelor of Social Work route asks applicants for an autobiography about the lived experience that led them toward professional social work education. It is assessed with references and other selection steps. Its full-time and part-time routes have different eligibility and submission processes; this is not a statement required of every Manitoba BSW applicant.
Writing format
Autobiography of no more than 750 words on lived experience leading to social work
What to prepare
- 1Choose experiences that explain why social work education matters to you and how your understanding of the work developed.
- 2Describe your contribution in community, volunteer, employment, or lived contexts with enough detail for a reader to understand your role.
- 3Connect what you learned from those experiences to the responsibilities of professional social work, using only details you are comfortable sharing.
How to approach the writing
- Keep the autobiography within 750 words and focus on a few meaningful experiences rather than a complete life chronology.
- Check the part-time employment requirements or full-time route requirements before preparing the corresponding references and documents.
Before you submit
The published page still shows 2026 document deadlines, even though it lists 2026–27 information sessions. Confirm the next intake's autobiography deadline and whether you use the full-time or part-time paper application before submitting documents.
