Are you forgetting that the CAWI must work within audible and visual range of a CWI?
So, unless there is an employer that needs someone to carry drawings, take coffee orders, tote a tool bag, and other miscellaneous go-fer work there are limits to job descriptions the CAWI can fulfill.
Enough of the sarcasm. There are plenty of opportunities for the CAWI. However, there are limitations imposed on the CAWI to protect the CAWI from running afoul of the Code of Ethics they agreed to when they accepted the AWS issued credential. The CAWI credential was issued by AWS because either the candidate does not have a mastery of the subject matter or they do not have the experience required to be a CWI. The problems reported to AWS usually involve situations where the unscrupulous employer assigns the unsuspecting CAWI to job assignments beyond the limitations established by AWS.
In many respects it is to the individual’s benefit to decline accepting the AWS credential, e.g., the CAWI credential, so AWS has no jurisdiction on the individual’s job assignments. No AWS credential, no limitations on the work assignments performed at the employer’s request.
