Save
Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs) help individuals with disabilities achieve their employment and independent living goals. They work with a variety of clients, including people with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities, as well as those who have difficulty finding or maintaining employment. CRCs provide a range of services, including assessment, counseling, job placement, and advocacy. They may also work with employers to create accessible workplaces and develop inclusive hiring practices.
Education and Training
To become a CRC, you typically need a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling or a related field. Some states also require CRCs to be licensed or certified. The Council on Rehabilitation Education (CORE) offers a national certification for CRCs, which requires passing an exam and meeting continuing education requirements.
