Mock Mediation Practice Clinic.

While foundational, the standard 40-hour basic mediation training is often insufficient to fully prepare mediators to handle the complexities of real-world conflict resolution. As a result, new mediators frequently face difficulties transitioning from training to practice, particularly in high-emotion or deeply entrenched conflicts, where the skills gained in basic training may fall short. This limitation creates barriers for new mediators seeking employment, as employers and clients often expect demonstrated experience and confidence in managing intense emotional dynamics. As such, securing mediation jobs can be a significant challenge for new mediators due to the competitive nature of the field and the preference for experienced professionals. Even with the requisite training, new mediators may struggle to find opportunities to gain practical experience, further diminishing their confidence and marketability.
