About this role
Centria's Elevate Program offers a structured paid practicum designed specifically for graduate-level ABA students working toward BCBA certification. You'll work full-time as a Behavior Technician or RBT, delivering 1:1 ABA therapy in home, center, and school settings while earning supervision hours that count toward your credential. The role progresses through three defined stages—Emerge, Empower, and Ascend—each with wage increases (starting at $18–$23 per hour, plus $2 raises per stage) and clear clinical milestones tied to competencies in assessment, intervention, communication, documentation, program design, and ethics.
The program pairs hands-on clinical work with regular 1:1 and group supervision from experienced BCBAs, professional development sessions, and peer mentorship. Both restricted and unrestricted fieldwork hours are paid, removing the financial barrier many practicum students face. You'll be expected to work afternoons and early evenings as part of a full-time schedule and must be actively enrolled in a master's-level ABA program (or have completed one with ongoing ABA coursework) before your start date.
Beyond the practicum itself, Centria offers a clear pathway to employment as a BCBA after certification, including up to $20,000 in tuition reimbursement, full benefits (medical, dental, vision), paid time off, 401(k) matching, and internal career advancement. This role suits someone seeking a values-driven clinical environment where growth is intentional and supported, not just a job to log hours.
