The Dalhousie University Career Counselling Internship Programme was established in 1987 to provide specialist training in Career Counselling. The Internship is a full-time, 10 month, post- master’s programme of supervised work and study. Of the 24 participants who have completed the Internship, 13 were School Counsellors on leave from their School Boards and 11 were Professional Counsellors, Social Workers, and Psychologists who came without institutional sponsorship. This article describes the major components of the Internship the: history; purpose; admission process; programme goals; objectives; and program content. This article also critically reviews evaluations of the Internship, the impact the training has had on the Interns’ personal development and professional practice, and the reciprocal benefits.
