Correct me here, it’s been a minute, but isn’t the Howard Center known for offering uncompetitive, low wages for positions?

Depends on the position. Paraeducators and 1:1 interventionists are typically better paid than their school employed counterparts. But higher qualified positions like clinicians and licensed mental health counselors certainly make less than they would working privately.

Clinicians and Counselors make between ~$33,000 and ~$60,000 in Vermont. Pay is uncompetitive and housing is either unaffordable or nonexistent.

When I was making their ads for one of the local newspapers, there were multiple ads every single week for various HC positions, and they always had exhaustive lists of qualification requirements, but never listed salaries. The only places that didn't list salaries/rates (and I'm sure this is still the case) were the companies that weren't competitive.

I was just on a job search between November and February, and I never once even considered applying for jobs that didn't list the salary. It isn't worth the time only to realize that they're offering below market rates.

They do now post salary ranges but you have to look on the Howard center page to see them!
