The proposed 2016 CACREP Standards make clear the need for intentionally-created doctoral internships, which provide invaluable experience to beginning counselor educators, as well as opportunities for mentorship and service for all involved. This discussion-based presentation will provide participants with an overview of doctoral internships in counselor education programs gathered from survey research conducted during the spring of 2013. One example of a partnership will be offered, as well as a vision for how this partnership could become a model for other institutions.
