Graduate with a Dream Job
At Hopebridge, we’re dedicated to nurturing talent within our own centers. Many students discover their passion for ABA while working here, and we’re thrilled when they choose to grow their careers with us. We love witnessing their enthusiasm as they study and work alongside our team, and we’re equally excited to support their journeys with opportunities for long-term growth.
For ABA graduate-level students, we offer roles through our Fellowship Program, which complements their coursework with a robust curriculum designed to provide valuable supervision hours, mentorship and guidance. Our fellows also gain access to journal clubs, study groups and hands-on experiences that deepen their understanding and skills.

Continue to Learn and Grow
The learning doesn’t stop once you join the Hopebridge team. Enabling our team members to continue to grow is just as important to us as the development of our kiddos.
Beyond the tracks for students at Hopebridge, we have several programs in place to provide our team members with the tools, access and experience they need to deepen their knowledge and take their careers to the next level. From paid certification and company-sponsored continuing education, to university partnerships that pay for schooling to leadership exploration and a clear BCBA Career Pathway, we make it a point to provide endless opportunities for our employees to broaden their skills.

Insight Into the World of Autism
Many schools, hospitals and clinics offer pediatric outpatient experience, but Hopebridge’s focus on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) provides students a new perspective for many of our students. The program is centered around early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI), giving our interns the chance to work closely with the behavior side of treatment. With full-time access to many children within our sensory-rich center environments, most of our speech-language pathology and occupational therapy students quickly realize this is a patient population they want to serve for the long haul. Plus, while children with autism are the base of our community, our outpatient therapies still see children with a mix of diagnoses, enabling our students and employees to keep those skills present, too.
If you don’t feel like you have all the autism answers yet, you’re not alone. Autism is a spectrum and we are here to support your learning. In the meantime, find out more about ASD here:
