Clinical Apprentice - BCBA Fieldwork Program
About The Position
Centria’s Elevate Program is a full-time, paid practicum for people pursuing BCBA certification. Apprentices work as a Behavior Technician (BT) or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), earn paid restricted and unrestricted fieldwork hours, and receive supervision, mentorship, and support. The program follows a structured three-stage pathway—Emerge, Empower, and Ascend—with milestones, clinical competencies, stage-based wage increases, and personalized support. Compensation is $18–$23 base pay, with $2-per-hour increases at each stage, plus benefits. The role provides hands-on experience delivering 1:1 ABA therapy in home, center, or school settings, while learning across six clinical domains: assessment, intervention, communication, documentation, program design, and ethics. Apprentices participate in individual and group supervision with experienced BCBAs, attend professional development sessions, and apply what they learn in practice. The program emphasizes practical functional assessment, skills-based treatment, compassionate client-led care, client assent, and data-driven care. Graduates can progress into a BCBA role, with post-certification tuition reimbursement of up to $20,000, career ladders, and internal promotion opportunities.
