Alcoholism Counselor Trainees: Some Changes in Job Related Functioning following Training

41 alcoholism counselor trainees were evaluated on changes in five parameters of job related functioning by their supervisors, following an intense training program. A rating scale, completed by agency supervisors at 7 and 14 week intervals following training, indicated positive changes in trainee's clinical competence, utilization in alcoholism work, personal involvement in alcoholism work, degree of assigned responsibilities, and overall job performance, relative to pre-training. Some implications and limitations of the present study are discussed.
