FCAI Partner Autism Tennessee Launches EmployME Job Seeker Program to Support Autistic Job Seekers; Registration Open!
The Frist Center for Autism and Innovation is excited to promote the EmployME Job Seeker Program from AutismTN a FCAI partner, specifically designed to empower and support Autistic self-advocates in their journey towards meaningful employment.
This program is strengths-based and celebrates neurodiversity, which is the cornerstone of FCAI’s work. We believe in embracing the unique perspectives and talents of Autistic individuals, and we are thrilled to see that this is the focus of the EmployME program.
We encourage all Autistic job seekers to seriously consider signing up for this program. It consists of a series of four sessions taking place weekly (Mondays at 6:00pm CT) over the course of one month (June), offered in a hybrid format (in-person in Nashville and via Zoom). The sessions are designed to help participants understand their Autistic strengths, design their professional profile, decode the interview process, and navigate the workplace as self-advocates.
Participants will also receive a Job Seeker Resource Guide, have access to a closed EmployME Peer Support Facebook group, and have the option to schedule a one-on-one coaching session for personalized career advice.
AutismTN Members can participate for $75, and non-members for $100. AutismTN suggests that if cost is a barrier to your participation, to reach out to admin@autismtn.org to discuss options. This is an incredible opportunity to gain valuable skills and insights to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
