Government
- Veterans Affairs Canada, VAC requires vocational rehabilitation providers to hold a CVRP for Canadian Rehabilitation Program Participants. For participants outside of Canada the contractor is required to align credentials of vocational rehabilitation professionals as closely as possible with those credentials of a CVRP. Within a vocational training plan, job development may be performed by a professional with a certificate, diploma or degree in either business, sales & marketing or human resources under the guidance of a CVRP.
