As organizations expand, scaling high-quality supervised training while maintaining this balance becomes increasingly complex. This presentation explores how technology can be leveraged to support supervisors and trainees in achieving scalable, yet individualized, practicum experiences without sacrificing scope or depth. We will outline a model of practicum support that integrates digital tools for supervision, tracking, feedback, and performance evaluation, while maintaining a strong focus on the integrity of skill development. Key resources and content areas used to scaffold trainee learning — including clinical competencies, case conceptualization, and ethical decision-making — will be shared. Additionally, we will address strategies for promoting the development of critical soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and professional judgment throughout the practicum journey. Attendees will leave with practical approaches to enhance the structure, consistency, and effectiveness of practicum training programs in diverse service settings.
