We directly assist high schools and colleges with the transition of people with disabilities into the workforce to decrease the dismal 85% unemployment rate for autistic individuals.Our next project, besides the continued expansion of our program, is the development of a first-of-its-kind education and workforce development IT platform called Spectrum BRIDGES with our partners at the Center for Discovery, Innovation, and Development (an initiative of Children's Specialized Hospital, an affiliate of RWJ Barnabas), that has the potential to further transform autism employment opportunities on a national scale. Our vision is to change society's perception of how corporations can seamlessly employ and integrate autistic people into their workplace, ultimately creating a more integrated, diverse, and inclusive workforce. Join us and be a part of the solution.
