Funding is available for individuals to enrol in courses between now and the end of June 2024. Courses are available at no cost in the following programs:

  • Disability management practitioner program.
  • Mental health certificate program.
  • Disability management from a HR perspective.
  • Special and advanced courses.

This special initiative provides Canadian residents (except British Columbia, which developed its similar initiative) the opportunity to obtain these professional designations for those working in the field:

  • Certified disability management professional (CDMP).
  • Certified return-to-work co-ordinator (CRTWC).

Employers and governments across Canada and around the world have recognized and adopted these professional designations. They were also referenced in the United Nations’ International Social Security Administration (ISSA) best practice guidelines on return to work and reintegration, as they are recognized as the global gold standard for those working in the field.

To date, some individuals have achieved these designations in 16 other international countries. This is an opportunity to join this elite disability management global professional community of practice, as a virtual online platform is currently being built to facilitate closer collaboration of CDMPs and CRTWCs across Canada and internationally.
