Description

Today I’m chatting with 2 guests - both representing different perspectives of a program called the Neurodiversity in the Workplace Initiative. They are based out of Philadelphia and work with businesses and potential candidates on the autism spectrum nationally to promote neurodiversity in the workplace. We have Amanda Zorzi who is an Employment and Training Specialist and Austin Martin who is a graduate/member of the training program.
In this episode, you will learn more about:

The mission of Neurodiversity in the Workplace (NITW)

NITW’s model of training employers and future employees

How they’ve adjusted the hiring process with employers to better display work skills and talents

How do we prepare for and navigate adulthood? What are the resources out there that can help me? How can we all work together to promote the success of autistic people in the workplace, community, and at school? This podcast is an extension of the Autism Grown Up Resource Center for autistic adults, families, and professionals. Note that the needs of the autism community are HUGE and we are a small non-profit just getting started with resources. Not every episode may be for you and we aim to provide ideas and suggestions for individualization. Pick and choose what you need!
