SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY<br />
WORK EMPOWERMENT<br />
One of the first special projects created by CADIn is aimed at<br />
promoting socio-professional integration amongst youngsters<br />
with high-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) or<br />
Asperger’s Syndrome. Many people with Autism or Asperger’s<br />
Syndrome achieve academic success, but struggle to find and<br />
maintain work, because of their deficit in communication and<br />
social skills. CADIn’s team works in two fronts to promote<br />
sustainable employment for them:<br />
Helping young adults meet the needs of the labor market,<br />
through training in soft skills, job hunting and strategies for<br />
success in the workplace<br />
Helping employers, as well as co-workers, embrace<br />
neurodiversity, through training focused on the characteristics<br />
of workers with ASD and workplace management<br />
