What is CORE's main purpose?

  1. To promote excellence in education and protect consumer rights in services

  2. To provide funding for rehabilitation programs

  3. To regulate the licensing of rehabilitation counselors

  4. To offer mentorship programs for new counselors

The correct answer is: To promote excellence in education and protect consumer rights in services

CORE, or the Council on Rehabilitation Education, primarily focuses on promoting excellence in education for rehabilitation counselors and ensuring the protection of consumer rights in related services. By establishing rigorous standards and guidelines for educational programs in rehabilitation counseling, CORE ensures that graduates are well-equipped to meet the diverse needs of individuals seeking rehabilitation services. This commitment to educational excellence helps safeguard consumer rights, as trained counselors are better prepared to provide effective support and advocacy for their clients. The emphasis on both education and consumer protection reflects CORE’s overarching goal to enhance the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation services. While other options mention aspects related to funding, regulation, or mentorship, these do not directly align with CORE's main purpose as defined by its mission to improve educational standards and advocate for consumers in the rehabilitation process.
