The Canadian Assessment, Vocational Evaluation and Work Adjustment
Society represents members across Canada who provide a continuum of
vocational/employment services. CARP, our national association, has
evolved as an umbrella association representing professionals who are
employed in many facets of rehabilitation. The Association recognizes
the strength in its diversity of members and recognizes that
rehabilitation is not comprised of one specific discipline but
characterized by many disciplines. This diversity ensures an
interdisciplinary approach and fosters trans-disciplinary alliances in
rehabilitation.
CARP and CAVEWAS members hail from a diversity of disciplines and are
employed in a variety of settings. Members providing professional
vocational services to clients rely on their specialized vocational
services knowledge as a distinguishing feature of service provision.
Vocational Professionals work with persons with disabilities and
disadvantages and their families to provide services and supports such
as vocational evaluation, transferable skills analysis,
employment/career counselling, vocational counselling, job placement
services, supported employment services and labour market information
research and analysis. On the basis of the occupational profile of the
individual, vocational professionals may also facilitate, manage and
implement individual employment plans to ensure effective vocational
outcomes in the most integrated setting possible.
Professional members of CAVEWAS can pursue Registered Vocational
Professional (RVP) status and/or a Certified Vocational Evaluator (CVE)
designation if they are specializing in the field of vocational
evaluation. CAVEWAS membership inquiries can made through the CARP
National Office.
