Abstract
This andragogical study employed a mixed methods approach (sequential, explanatory, case study design) (Creswell & Plano, 2017) to explore course integrated service learning in two cohorts of counselors in training (CIT) post-pandemic. Results indicated that non-traditional students, full-time employed, and underrepresented minorities were more likely to serve greater numbers of hours and to serve clients directly. Traditional, White, and part-time employed students were more likely to serve clients indirectly. Student reflections were analyzed, and three themes emerged: a) understanding counselor functions, B) readiness to learn, and C) barriers. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
