Structure your action plan to address these four topics:
List the remaining steps to secure a fieldwork site, including verifying whether there are specific state requirements for supervision. Some states have specific qualifications for supervisors. Double check whether or not your state does. What skills do you need to strengthen prior to, and during, practicum in order to prepare for more ongoing work with clients in internship.
With the demands of fieldwork in mind, describe a plan to maintain balance between your personal and professional commitments. How can you prepare your support system to help you address this plan?
Verify which licensure exam(s) are needed for entry and independent licensure in your state. Using resources reviewed in Unit 5, describe your plan for preparing for these exams.
Identify professional organizations and activities selected to facilitate progress toward professional development goals. Consider how you will pursue appropriate skill development to be a culturally competent, ethical, and clinically skilled counselor.
