As part of our partnership with AsIAm, Ireland’s National Autism Charity, we are collaborating on a series of monthly masterclasses aimed at supporting employers to engage with the vast untapped pool of Autistic talent in Ireland.
Our second Masterclass workshop examined ‘Inducting and Onboarding Autistic Talent’. Fiona Ferris of AsIAm was joined by Carly Jones MBE, an expert in the area of supporting autistic talent, and we also heard from Colman O’Connell an autistic self-advocate who works in Allianz as a Claims Processor who found his job through AHEAD WAM programme who shared his personal experience of the onboarding process.
Each monthly workshop will cover a different theme, including recruitment and onboarding, workplace culture and attitudes to neurodiversity, self-advocacy in the workplace and career progression and personal development.
Our previous masterclass focused on Recruiting Autistic Talent, June’s masterclass will focus on workplace culture and attitudes to neurodiversity. Registration links will be shared on our social media platforms.
