Each year the CWC training committee conducts a local search within the Counselor Education Program at UF. The internship selection process involves two steps. The first step is a review of application materials including, cover letter, letters of recommendation, and vita. Following the review of applications, our training committee selects a list of finalists who are assessed as having experiences and goals that are identified as being a “good fit” with the training expectations at our site. An in person interview is conducted with the finalist pool with at least two members of the training committee and a second interview is conducted with the training director. Interviews usually last approximately 1 hour. The Training Committee and the training director make a final selection and contact the successful candidate.
The start date of the internship is March 10, 2021.
Required Orientation: May 10-14; 8:00 AM-5:00 PM Daily
There is an orientation period for 1 week in addition to online training that assists interns in becoming familiar with the CWC, receive clinical training, and orient to policies and procedures of the Center. The internship requires a commitment of 25 hours per week for the Summer semester. There is a schedule of training that is as follows. It is helpful to plan class schedules and assistantships around this schedule:
| Day | Time | Meeting |
|---|---|---|
| Mondays | 12:00–1:00pm | Intern Meeting w/ Training Coordinator |
| Wednesdays | 11:00–12:30pm | Intern Seminar |
