A dashboard of fieldwork experience data
The current labor market for pre-license professionals in the counseling field is difficult to navigate. The goal of this project is to create an accessible and public-facing database of student counseling experiences.
- Virtualization and telehealth – The rise of online Master’s programs increases accessibility and removes barriers to entry in the counseling field. However, it’s easy for young clinicians to feel overwhelmed with local fieldwork site choices. This dashboard can increase access to information in a digital world.
- Spotlighting quality sites – The counseling industry is filled with compassionate, supportive supervisors who feel called to act as mentors. This tool is meant to help students connect with quality, compatible practitioners.
- Empowerment through sharing stories – A potential factor in any labor market is the tendency for individuals without power to be treated unfairly. There are fieldwork sites who have negative cultures, ineffective teaching strategies, or unreasonable demands. This dashboard can serve as an instrument to notify student counselors about inadequate sites.
