How would one transition to tech and social worker after being a direct practice (micro) social worker for 8 years?

   I'm not familiar with the tech/social work intersection, but if the programming/software development side of tech is of interest, it may be worthwhile to check out organizations like Women Who Code or coding bootcamps.

   Also, at a wild guess, 8 years' experience in social work means you have a lot of interpersonal skills, which are critical to any role and can translate well into management or project management in tech roles. Check out videos or online courses to see if those roles are of interest to you. See if people in your network are in those roles or know someone who is, and chat with them to gauge whether the work and their organizations may be a good fit for you.
