Important CCWAVES Development - 9/5/2008
The Commission on Certification of Work Adjustment and Vocational Evaluation Specialists (CCWAVES) has issued an announcement indicating that, as of 9/5/2008, CCWAVES has been forced to begin the process to dissolve the organization.
VEWAA has been in contact with CCWAVES to learn more details. We suggest that you go to the CCWAVES website at www.ccwaves.org to see the letter that was sent to all certificants.
CCWAVES indicated that this was a very difficult decision. Our conversations with Ron Spitznagle, Chair of the Commission, confirmed that the CCWAVES was faced with extremely difficult circumstances. VEWAA will work with VECAP and other appointing organizations to determine what this will mean to current certificants, prospective applicants and practitioners in the fields of vocational evaluation, work adjustment and career assessment.
We realize that there are many questions and concerns. Additional information will be posted on the VEWAA website as soon as possible. Please check back or contact VEWAA with questions at info@vewaa.com.
