Recent statistics show that 1 in 5 people are neurodivergent. Employers need to know that implementing practices that foster inclusion and accessibility enhances overall wellbeing throughout the workplace--and it's easier than you think! Our friends at Hire for Talent have created a FREE employer toolkit that provides "how-to" resources providing practical tips and strategies for successful recruitment, hiring, inclusive practices and retention of employees with disabilities. View the full toolkit here: https://lnkd.in/eeWbCj5y

We love seeing our #EmploymentWorks partners out in the community. Pacific Autism Family Network is doing great things in BC, including hosting #Career fairs that highlight the value #Autistic and #Neurodivergent individuals bring to the #Workplace.
In a year of 'firsts', today was my first Pacific Autism Career Expo, a sensory-friendly opportunity for potential employers and employees to meet and discuss how careers can take flight. More than 200 registered guests and 12 amazing organizations that see the value of the neurodivergent community to their cultures and workplaces. Bravo to the entire team Pacific Autism Family Network under the remarkable leadership of Bailey DeBruin-Stam. These days feel good. Tomorrow, the JET (Jobs, Education and Training) Art Show! 👏

Wednesday, April 16, consider our space your space--for Your Time, Your Way! Many Autistic and neurodivergent individuals have told us that they would benefit from a space that is separate from home, work or school to hang out at without the obligation of having to pay for food or beverages, and no pressure to engage in structured activities. So we're opening our doors at 300, 3820 24 Ave NW between 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. Bring independent work, a book to read, use our computers, socialize (or not), or simply "Be." Whatever you need it to be, it's your time, your way. To ensure a welcoming and safe space for all users, please read over the Rules of Space on our website before you arrive. https://lnkd.in/gbDQVRyj See you Wednesday!
