What is the Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program?

The Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program is an optional practicum experience offered to students who have successfully fulfilled all of the requirements of the one-year Mindful Facilitation Certificate Program by StirFry Seminars & Consulting. The Internship Training Program option is intended for those who are interested in becoming a diversity facilitator specializing in Mindful Facilitation Techniques.

The requirements of the Internship Training Program are, as follows:

Performance Assessment

Interns will each be assigned a StirFry Seminars Training Supervisor, who will work one-on-one with them to best plan out their Internship experience. The goal is for the Intern to accumulate hours from each of the areas indicated on the chart above. Training supervisors will approve proposals to accumulate Internship hours, supervise the Intern’s work in the planning and carry out of those hours, provide guidance and feedback, as well as evaluate the Intern via an Internship Performance Assessment after the accumulation of hours has been completed. While in the Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program, Interns will have their pictures and bios posted on the StirFry Seminars & Consulting website, as student participants in the program.

What costs are associated with the Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program?

Please refer to the Internship Training Program Registration Form for further details regarding the cost of the Internship and other required fees.

How long does it take to complete the practicum hours for the Internship Training Program?

The answer to this question will depend on the Intern’s individual pace but it is our hope that the hours can be accumulated within a year. There is a bi-annual fee for Internship supervision (see payment options on the Internship Training Program Registration Form) and so the sooner the hours are fulfilled, the lower the cost to the Intern. Note: It is mandatory that the Intern register and pay for the program at any point that he/she is accumulating Internship hours because a Training Supervisor is required at all times throughout the Internship Training Program.

Now that I have fulfilled the requirements of the Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program, can I consider myself a StirFry Seminars & Consulting “Facilitator”?

Although the Mindful Facilitation Internship Training Program does not guarantee that you would become a StirFry Seminars & Consulting Facilitator, graduates that have demonstrated mastery in Mindful Facilitation theory & practice would be welcome to apply for such a position. We believe the supervised educational practice experiences of the internship will be of value to any Intern interested in obtaining skills in the diversity training and consultation field.
