CAVEWAS members are united by their work in helping individuals overcome barriers to employment and achieve meaningful participation in the workforce and community.

How to Become a CAVEWAS Member (through VRA)

CAVEWAS is a specialized society within VRA Canada as a society offering education, training, mentorship, and opportunities to individuals who specifically work in the vocational assessment and evaluation field. Professionals with designations such as RVP, CCVE/ICVE, and CVRP-TSA align with CAVEWAS for designation and CEU specific supports.

You do not join CAVEWAS separately first—you join through the Vocational Rehabilitation Association of Canada.

To become a member of CAVEWAS, follow these simple steps:

1. Join VRA Canada

• Go to the VRA Canada registration page and apply for membership.
• Choose your membership category:
  • Student
  • Associate (most common starting point)
  • Professional (if you already hold a designation)

2. Select CAVEWAS during registration

• While registering, you simply indicate that you want to be part of CAVEWAS.

3. That’s it — you’re in CAVEWAS

• CAVEWAS membership is included at no extra cost with VRA membership.
• Your membership category (student, associate, professional) will match your VRA status.

• You can access training, resources, and networking
