Employing focus groups, interviews and questionnaires, 66 therapists from a wide range of graduating institutions working in vocational practice were asked to: a) identify the essential knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for vocational practice; b) determine to what extent training is preparing students for vocational practice; and c) make recommendations for curriculum revision and\/or for additional curriculum development. Participants and their jobs were profiled together with the challenges and issues of vocational practice.\n                    <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\n                    .
