Neurodiversity and Long-term Success: College to Career

June 14, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

The college experience looks different for everyone.

For members of the neurodiverse community, the process of attending college, graduating, and beginning a career can be daunting. For those entering the job market, unemployment for neurodivergent adults runs at least as high as 30-40%.1

In this 60-minute session, we’ll introduce you to 3 guests who each share a unique experience in higher education and neurodiversity. Awareness of neurodiversity employment programs is crucial for neurodivergent individuals, but universities vary in whether they have one integrated and how they support their neurodiverse student population. The discussion will touch on the following topics:

  • The experience of neurodivergent students on college campuses
  • What universities are doing to ensure the preparedness and success of neurodivergent students
  • How universities can help prepare the future workforce to create a neurodiversity-inclusive workplace
  • Real-life experience supporting a neurodiversity employment program within a higher education institution
