Our work at AWH goes beyond skills training; it’s about creating a supportive and inclusive environment where young adults with unique abilities can thrive. Discover how we empower and support Autistic young adults, fostering skills, promoting inclusivity, and shaping brighter futures through our diverse programs and community engagement.
Our first four-week pilot program kicks off in Summer 2024, welcoming 10-15 bright minds. Together, we will learn, we will grow, and we will prove that every individual, regardless of neurodiversity, deserves a seat at the table and a chance to shine in the workplace.
Over four immersive weeks, our curriculum is designed to be both comprehensive and inclusive, encompassing a diverse range of skill-building activities and experiences. Through technology-driven modules focusing on Office 365 proficiency, data management, clerical skills, and customer service excellence, participants will hone skills crucial for workplace success.
This includes mastering letter writing using templates, customer service techniques, and strategies for ensuring customer satisfaction. We provide access to educational resources and opportunities that allow our participants to expand their knowledge and skills beyond the initial training program.
