Creating employment opportunities and changing lives.
Your workplace is the engine of your business. You need reliable and skilled employees who understand your requirements and are committed to rigor and productivity. And you need a diverse workforce that drives innovation, competitive advantage, and organizational effectiveness.
Autism2Work helps pair qualified candidates on the autism spectrum with carefully matched jobs in IT and business operations. We manage not only the recruiting, selection and training of autistic team members, but also the cultural integration, on-the-job supervision, skill development and performance management.
All CAI team members working with Autism2Work associates are trained and certified in autism as designated by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), the global leader in training professionals to work with individuals on the autism spectrum. These certifications were established to set industry standards and create a worldwide community of trained and knowledgeable professionals. IBCCES is the only training and certification program endorsed by the Autism Society of America. Autism2Work is committed to investing in the knowledge acquisition and skills development needed to improve the outcomes of the populations we serve.
Autism2Work creates meaningful employment and workforce training for people on the autism spectrum. While the program supports individuals interested in the IT field who are eager to enter a work environment, it also supports the workplace itself, tailoring our unique employment model to your specific culture and business needs.
By tapping the potential of a new talent pool, you can accomplish both your business goals and your workplace diversity goals. Let Autism2Work help you implement the required support structure to recruit, select and train the right people for your team. We can support team members on the client site or host the work at one of CAI’s locations.
Many individuals on the autism spectrum share particular strengths, including attention to detail, a preference for repetitive work, a high level of concentration, perseverance, and superior problem-solving and pattern recognition abilities. Under the right conditions, individuals on the autism spectrum can be highly effective at work. In fact, studies and our own experience have shown that the performance of autistic individuals in certain functions often exceeds that of their neurotypical peers.
