Welcome to The Watson Institute's Career Center

One goal of The Watson Institute is to provide a positive work atmosphere for its employees by striving to maintain fairness, equality and safety throughout all of its programs that serve children with disabilities.

Our policy regarding equal employment opportunity is to treat our employees—as well as potential employees—fairly without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other factors prohibited by law. This applies to all Watson Institute subsidiaries, personnel actions and company-related activities.

We have an excellent benefit package which includes health, dental and vision insurances;  life, dependent life and long-term disability insurance; paid time off for vacation, if applicable; sick and personal time, as well as nine holidays. We also offer flexible spending accounts for medical and dependent care and retirement plans. Watson offers an Employee Assistance Program to employees and their dependents.

The Watson Institute supports ongoing education and training for employees through management development, outside conferences and tuition reimbursement. Tuition reimbursement is available to full and part time employees after six months of employment.
