Morphology
vocational + rehabilitation + program
The meaning is fully compositional: 'vocational' (job-related) + 'rehabilitation' (help to re-enter functioning) + 'program' (organized set) directly yields 'a program to help people gain or return to employment.' This modifier+head noun structure is a standard, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Vocational rehabilitation program brings three simple ideas together: vocational means 'work or job', rehabilitation means 'making someone able to work again', and program is a planned set of activities. Picture a training workshop where people learn job skills after an injury or illness, so the phrase means a planned set of help to get people with disabilities back to work.
