Working with autism
Working with autism.
As many as 54% of people that have autism and average to high intelligence are unemployed. Although more and more companies are starting to see the qualities of people with autism, there are still many prejudices. That is a missed opportunity, because people with autism often have a certain level of knowledge and specific skills that are extremely suitable for positions in the field of ICT and Life Sciences.
We have already experienced the added value of this target group. As a specialist in the field of recruitment and selection for ICT, we see many opportunities for this target group. Especially now that we are struggling with a shortage on the labour market, while the ICT sector is growing strongly, we see the demand for this target group increasing heavily. In addition to the added value that employees with autism can offer, it is also socially responsible for employers! A real “win-win” situation for both parties.
Autism works with the help of our service “Autism on the Job” and “Autism Awareness”
