New Employment Toolkit is Ambitious about Autism

New Employment Toolkit is Ambitious about Autism

The latest Office of National Statistics research shows that over 700,000 young people are currently not in employment, education or training. Autistic job seekers are among the most disadvantaged, with just 22% of people with autism in full-time paid employment, the lowest of all disabled groups.

A new toolkit has been launched to support disadvantaged autistic young people into the job market, following the Coronavirus pandemic.

The charities Ambitious about Autism and The Autism Education Trust have created the Transition to Employment Toolkit to tackle the problem of autistic young people falling out of education, employment or training when they leave school. It includes resources for employers, post-16 careers and employability professionals and young autistic people themselves.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
