Build a diverse, capable workforce by partnering with Engaged Employment!
Join our employment network!
Businesses, large and small, have jobs that could be excellent fits for individuals on the autism spectrum. Jobs requiring a keen focus on details, repetitive tasks and working within a crew often work well for our clients. However, every individual has a unique personality and skill set. So we keep our options open!
If you are looking for workers who are dedicated, reliable and caring, then Engaged Employment is your answer. Our job coaches bridge the gap in training the new hire and showing you, the employer, how to work with adults with disABILITIES.
