Disability should never be a barrier to employment but unfortunately, people with disabilities often find themselves in underpaid jobs or unemployed. This program assists job seekers identify, magnify and leverage their unique abilities in order to gain and maintain meaningful employment.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to training Autistic young adults, fostering their unique abilities, and preparing them to contribute to both the community and the workforce actively.
Finding a job can be tough, but for autistic young adults, it’s even more challenging. By bridging this gap, we not only tap into diverse talents but also empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives, contributing meaningfully to society while feeling valued and included.
At Autism Works Here, we nurture abilities that transcend barriers, preparing young adults for a promising tomorrow.
Technology proficiency
We equip our participants with essential skills in using Office 365 applications, data management, and clerical work. This includes mastering letter writing using templates, customer service techniques, and strategies for ensuring customer satisfaction.
Lifelong learning
We believe in fostering a love for learning and continuous improvement. With access to educational resources and opportunities, our participants expand their knowledge and skills beyond the initial training program.
Workplace readiness
We partner with local businesses and organizations to offer internships and job opportunities that align with our participants’ skills and interests. Career coaching and mentorship are also available to navigate the job market with confidence.
Here at AWH we create a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can:
Connect with peers
We foster a sense of community through social events, group activities, and peer support groups. This allows our participants to build lasting friendships and feel a sense of belonging.
Embrace a healthy lifestyle
Outdoor activities like hiking, jogging, and participation in sports exercise programs promote physical and mental well-being while allowing our participants to connect with nature and enjoy the outdoors.
Develop life skills
Workshops and training on essential life skills such as financial literacy, independent living, and healthy relationships. This empowers our participants to become more independent and make informed decisions about their lives.
