Workplace Inclusion Now (WIN)

Organization: Autism Speaks

National data shows that most autistic adults are unemployed or underemployed, despite having the skill sets and expertise to excel in the workplace. Autism Speaks, together with our partners, aims to transform employment for those on the spectrum through Workplace Inclusion Now. Workplace Inclusion Now (WIN) brings together people (job seekers and employees with autism), employers and communities to increase employment opportunities for autistic employees a create a more diverse and inclusive workforce. This integrated model aims to: 1. Address disparities in and obstacles to employment; 2. Equip employers to hire and retain autistic workers; and 3. Create workplace environments in which people with autism and other intellectual and/or developmental differences can be successful and supported in pursuing their own employment goals. https://www.autismspeaks.org/workplace-inclusion-now
