Inside Rehabilitation Counseling Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification

The Certified Vocational Evaluator certification, or CVE, is a high-demand specialty within rehabilitation counseling. CVEs possess unique, comprehensive, and holistic proficiencies in evaluation, career assessment services, and job placement cases. The CRC-CVE dual certification can also provide clients and employers with higher success rates and overall better client outcomes.

Lisa Byrne was instrumental in the revitalization of the CVE certification under CRCC, and on this episode, she shares with us the scope of the specialization and why it’s important for clients and employers.

On the next episode of Inside Rehabilitation Counseling, we explore the Certified Vocational Evaluation Specialist (CVE) credential and how it compliments the CRC in serving individuals with disabilities. Our guest is Lisa Byrne, MA, CRC, CVE, LCPC, an integral reason that the CVE was revitalized as a credential for rehabilitation counseling professionals. 

The value of the CRC credential is a common topic of conversation on Inside Rehabilitation Counseling, and Ryan Bruce, Director of Client Solutions at New York Life Insurance knows it well. 

At New York Life Insurance, Ryan has worked in long-term disability claims, stay-at-work programs, and now his role is to tell the story of how the 45 CRCs on staff strive every day to help people navigate short or long-term disability. Ryan says the same disability accommodations that employers struggled with a decade ago are still challenges they're encountering today, and having a CRC in an organization can alleviate a lot of the uncertainty and help businesses support their employees in the best way possible.
