Increasing chances for acces to labor market for autistic people

Image

Together we can help them find their first job

In Romania …

live 40 000 persons with autism, 15 537 children and adults are in state evidence. Each year, 1000 children are diagnosed with autism in Romania. 

In Europa, less than 10% adults with autism have a job

To gain access to the employment market a common effort between the private and public sectors is needed in order to grow the programs especially designed for adults with autism.

What we do in this project?

The main objective of the project is to create opportunities for young adults with autism to get hired and integrated into their workplace. We will do this by integrated action at many levels: state institutions that can influence change, companies, specialists and NGOs supporting persons with autism in their effort to prepare, get hired and integrate in a job.

  • transform 10 companies in inclusive organizations

  • prep 30 young adults with autism for their first job

  • form an interdisciplinary team to prep the working environment & colleagues
