Abstract

This report contains two parts; the first describes an internship of 13 weeks which was completed in the Counselling Centre of Memorial University. The second is the report on a study completed as a part of the internship. -- Part one includes a detailed description of the internship, including its rationale and a list of the goals the intern set out to realize. Also included is a description of the nature of the supervision offered and a listing of the specific activities of the intern. The setting is also described. A discussion of the degree to which the various goals were met is also included. -- Part two describes a research study aimed at assessing the feasibility and suitability (defined in terms of staffing needs and preparation, materials and time costs, setting compatibility and user acceptance) of the Vocational Choice Group Counselling Plan offered by Sprague and Strong (1970). It also offers an example of a possible model which might be used by similar settings seeking to assess the utility and practicality of adopting this or similar service approaches. Based on the use of the Plan with two groups (total N=14), it was concluded that the Plan was useful, feasible and suitable, and that the approach used to asses it might provide a model useful to other centres considering the adoption of this or other similar approaches.
