José completed an MA in Counselling Psychology in 1998 and a PhD in Measurement, Evaluation and Research Methodology in 2005. Following that, he taught at Trinity Western University and the University of New Brunswick before joining the Werklund School of Education at the University of Calgary in 2018.

Dr. José Domene's areas of research interest include (a) the couple and family contexts of career development, particularly during young people's initial transition into the workforce, (b) intersections of technology and counselling/career development, and (c) professional issues in counselling and counselling psychology in Canada (e.g., professional identity, research practices, scope of practice, engagement in social justice).
