Are you working toward your BCBA and looking for a practicum experience that actually supports your growth? Centria’s Elevate Program is a full-time, paid practicum opportunity where you'll earn supervision hours, mentorship, and support across all hours, all while building real clinical experience with children and families.

As part of the Elevate team, you’ll work as a Behavior Technician (BT) or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and progress through a structured, three-stage pathway, Emerge, Empower, Ascend, with built-in milestones, wage increases, and personalized support.

Compensation: $19- $24 base pay with $2 per hour increases at each stage, plus full benefits.

What Centria Offers:

  • Fieldwork That Pays Off – Every hour paid, both restricted and unrestricted fieldwork, while working within a role that grows with you.

  • Structured Growth, Built In – Follow Elevate’s three-stage model with clearly defined milestones, clinical competencies, and stage-based wage increases.

  • Real Clinical Experience – Provide 1:1 ABA therapy in home, center, or school settings, gaining hands-on experience across six key domains.

  • Assent-Based ABA at Its Best – Learn from leaders in Practical Functional Assessment, Skills-Based Treatment, and compassionate, client-led care.

  • Mentorship That Matters – Receive regular 1:1 and group supervision from experienced BCBAs and connect with a supportive network of mentors and peers.

  • Clear Path to BCBA – Graduate from the Elevate program into a BCBA role with post-certification tuition reimbursement (up to $20,000), career ladders, and internal promotions.

  • Perks That Matter – Full benefits (medical, dental, vision), paid time off, 401(k) with company match, tuition reimbursement, exclusive Elevate gear, and milestone recognition.

Your Role & Impact as a BCBA

  • Lead ABA therapy delivery within a collaborative, in-center environment

  • Participate in small-group and 1:1 supervision with experienced BCBAs

  • Learn clinical best practices across six core domains: assessment, intervention, communication, documentation, program design, and ethics

  • Attend professional development sessions and apply learnings in real time

  • Progress through Elevate's structured stages and earn milestone rewards

  • Collaborate with a team that values compassion, client assent, and data-driven care

What You’ll Need

  • Active enrollment in (or completion of) a master’s-level ABA program (verified before start date), or a completed master’s degree with enrollment in (or completion of) an ABA course sequence.

  • Strong desire to grow into a BCBA role within a values-driven care model

  • Ability to work full-time, including availability for afternoon and early evening hours
