Clinical Apprentices work as Behavior Technicians (BTs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), earning paid restricted and unrestricted fieldwork hours while gaining clinical experience with children and families. The program offers supervision, mentorship, and support across all hours through a structured three-stage pathway: Emerge, Empower, and Ascend.
