Many employment services work with people with a range of needs and may lack the specialist knowledge to support those with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) effectively. This often leads to frustration and a lack of progress for all parties. Our training aims to bridge this gap and increase the chances of your support succeeding.
Tailored training
We offer a range of training courses that can be adapted to your business' needs. Commonly, organisations look for training and guidance in the following areas:
- awareness training: developing your knowledge of ASDs so that you can better understand this client group
- preparing for work: giving advice and suggestions that will help your clients to best prepare for work
- marketing strategies: how to market your client group, including presenting a business case to employers
- job-finding strategies: how to help your client group to find jobs, including different approaches to job finding.
Training usually takes place at your place of work and our trainers will travel to you.
We also run a one-day training course called 'Supporting individuals with an ASD to find and retain employment' at specific locations across the UK. If you only have one or two staff who require training, this option is more cost-effective than tailored training.
