The study was designed to examine the vocational interests of counseling psychology trainees and the concurrent validity of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII) for this group. Subjects were 47 male and 67 female graduate students majoring or minoring in counseling programs at a large midwestern university. In addition, a subgroup of 43 of these students completed a questionnaire assessing satisfaction with their graduate program, interests in various types of coursework, and preferences for future professional employment. Results generally supported the concurrent validity of the SCII in a group of counseling trainees but also indicated differences in the ordering of SCII Holland themes in this group versus psychologists in general. In addition, relationships between certain SCII scores and students' preferences concerning coursework and future employment were found. Implications of the findings for both the training and the employment of counseling psychology trainees are discussed.The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Frank M. Fletcher and W.
