Abstract
This paper proposes a concept of supervision at a vocational counseling setting. Using the Integrated Developmental Model with triadic supervision for trainees employed at YGS Placement Service agency will facilitate client welfare and counselor in training development.

IDM is the most integrated and widely used model of supervision since it has the virtue of having two qualities; its first quality is being descriptive as it regards to trainee processes and its second quality is being prescriptive as it regards to supervisor interventions (Zeligman, 2017)
Summary
IDM is the most integrated and widely used model of supervision since it has the virtue of having two qualities; its first quality is being descriptive as it regards to trainee processes and its second quality is being prescriptive as it regards to supervisor interventions (Zeligman, 2017). The third structure of the IDM is autonomy and it reflects the level of independence the trainee exhibits (McNeill & Stoltenberg, 2016). As the trainee advances through the levels, eight domains are developed. They are intervention skills competence; confidence in administering assessments; assessment of interpersonal issues; conceptualization of consumer's history, diagnosis, and characteristics. Determining which the trainee's developmental level within each domain is primordial to plan supervision sessions (Stoltenberg et al, 2014). Counseling can be basically defined as assistance or guidance for personal problems provided by a professional. Counseling sessions can improve communication and self-esteem, assists in developing coping skills, and promote behavior modification for optimal mental health (Dik et al, 2019). Depending on the organization counseling varies upon their specialty or area of focus
