Job Training
Our job training and support program is a comprehensive initiative that aims to help individuals with autism achieve their goals. The program provides a variety of services, including job readiness training, workshops to build skills, job placement assistance, and ongoing support. Our primary goal is to address the challenges that individuals with autism may face in the workplace and equip them with the tools and resources they need to succeed. In addition, the program seeks to establish partnerships with employers and advocate for the inclusion of autistic adults in the workforce. By participating in the program, individuals with autism can gain valuable work experience, enhance their skills, and become more independent and self-sufficient.
