Applications are now being accepted through March 15, 2021 for The Autism Hiring Program’s spring 2021 session.
The program, sponsored by the Howard County Autism Society, seeks to address the needs of adults with autism who have high-level, marketable skills but need to build a more competitive advantage. At the same time, it connects small and mid-sized businesses in Central Maryland to a competent, capable workforce, providing staff training and ongoing supports.
The ideal candidate for this program is someone who comes to it with an open mind, is committed to their own success, and whose ultimate goal is to find and sustain meaningful employment. Applications are due March 15, 2021. The program will begin virtually in mid-April 2021.
For an application, flyer, candidate profiles, and information for employers, visit buff.ly/3stu74x
Support for the program has been provided by Howard County, MD, Maryland Developmental Disabilities Council, and Arbor Dog Foundation. Organizational partners include Accessible Resources for Independence, UMBC Training Center, and the Maryland Workforce Development Center.
