Outstanding Neurodiversity Workplace Initiative
Integrate-ATI
This award is given to an employer, or employment-focused organization, that has helped autistic students be recruited and hired into meaningful employment. This year’s recipient is a non-profit organization founded in 2010 with a mission of advancing inclusive, competitive employment for autistic and neurodivergent professionals. They work both sides of the equation with skill: helping employers become more neuroinclusive while recruiting, preparing and supporting candidates for opportunities.
This organization has worked with major employers like Prudential, Hearst, JPMorganChase and the Simons Foundation, and has a strong connection to higher education with staff members who have come out of the higher ed world. This positions them uniquely to partner with campus professionals to build the bridges necessary to support the transition to employment.
We recognize this organization for three important reasons:
-They work with employers, as well as job seekers.
-They address the entire employment lifecyle, from recruitment through retention
-They are helping to scale the field through recent partnerships with other organizations.
For an organization committed to helping autistic students successfully transition from college to meaningful careers, and the bridge they represent between higher education and the workplace, we are thrilled to recognize with this award Integrate-ATI.
