About the Setting
The practicum and internship program at UNOCS is designed to assist interns in developing clinical skills appropriate to those of an entry-level counselor working with adults. Graduate student interns gain experience working with clients with diverse backgrounds, life experience, and presenting problems using a Solution Focused Framework.
Internships at UNOCS are open for practicum during the Spring & Summer semesters and internship during the Fall & Spring semesters. Internship hours are available from Monday-Thursday, 8:00 am- 4:00 pm. Weekend and after hour events may be available, but not guaranteed. Interns completing practicum at a different site may be considered for internships I and II only if there are open positions.
