Workshop Description:
The number of individuals with autism spectrum disorders moving into the workforce is skyrocketing. High
schools, transition programs, and community rehabilitation providers are facing the challenge of providing
quality educational and job training services to a rapidly growing number of students with autism spectrum
disorders. The key to success is creative career planning that focuses on utilizing the individual's strengths
and interests. Job seekers with autism spectrum disorders bring diverse talents to the business world and
more companies across the country are recognizing this fact. With the support of innovative career
planning, people with autism have the opportunity to reach any goal that they set for themselves. This two
day training covers all the essentials for successful career planning. Topics such as career assessment,
career portfolios, workplace social communication, and business collaboration will be highlighted. James will
focus on key strategies that will help individuals with autism spectrum disorders find not just jobs, but
long-term career success. This interactive session contains five "take away" strategies each day that
participants will be able to apply to their current situation immediately.
