Our Story

“Spectrum Advantage: Employment Without Borders”

A community-based project that is designed to train, assist and support individuals who live on the autism spectrum with employability skills and employment opportunities.

Our four month program includes four weeks of paid job readiness preparation classes specifically geared towards people living on the autism spectrum, followed by a minimum of three months paid employment for program graduates. During these 12 weeks, both program participants and employers are supported by an ASD Human Resource Consult/Job Coach. Additionally, employers are offered a bursary to offset the costs of on-boarding and training a new employee.
