Morphology
The meaning 'rehabilitation focused on employment skills' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'vocational' (relating to occupations or job skills) with 'rehabilitation' (help to recover or re-enter society). This is a straightforward compositional noun phrase following normal English modification patterns and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The term vocational rehabilitation comes from two simple ideas: vocational meaning 'work' and rehabilitation meaning 'making someone able again'. Imagine a person in a training workshop practising job tasks with helpers until they can get back to work; that image explains why the phrase means 'help to gain or return to employment'.
