It is estimated that 85% of autistic people are either unemployed or underemployed. This is why IrishJobs and AsIAm, Ireland’s autism charity, are working in partnership to open up the world of work to autistic people.
This April, to mark World Autism Month, we are hosting an IrishJobs AsIAm Company Clinic.
The online Company Clinic is a resource for organisations interested in learning more about autism and how to become an autism-friendly employer. It offers the opportunity to speak with AsIAm’s employment team, who can support and advise on a range of topics on autism and employment, including:
* How to attract autistic candidates
* The accommodations needed during the hiring process and in the workplace
* What training or education should be provided to employees about autism?
* How to foster an inclusive and supportive workplace culture
* How to support career development for autistic employees
The IrishJobs AsIAm Company Clinic will take place on Monday, April 28th, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. To register your interest, please complete the contact form, and a member of the AsIAm Employment team will be in touch.
