The purpose of this qualitative study was to demonstrate and evaluate the incorporation of teambuilding training into a graduate course on transition. A total of 33 students in two different sections of the course participated in six exercises focusing on group development and teambuilding and a group simulation. Students provided input about their perceptions of the teambuilding exercises and their own teambuilding skills in the form of journals and questionnaires. The group simulation was videotaped to provide data regarding the student's acquired skills in a structured group setting. The results demonstrated that a majority of students expressed positive opinions about the teambuilding content and that the knowledge and skills taught were applicable in transition team environments.
