Career counselors' multicultural competence has not been widely investigated. In this study, a national sample of 230 career counselors completed an online survey that included measures of career counseling self-efficacy and multicultural counseling competence. Beyond these self-report instruments, counselors responded to open-ended items that requested specific examples of their actual multicultural counseling practices. Results indicated that counselors rated themselves as multi-culturally competent, but those ratings were more closely linked to general career counseling self-efficacy than to external evaluations of their self-reported multi-cultural counseling practices. Findings also reinforced the importance of training and experience in developing multicultural competence. (Contains 3 tables.)
