A Bridge to Opportunity
We believe that dignity and belonging come from both living with maximum independence and having access to meaningful work and career opportunities.
Adults with autism deserve a community with skills training, coaching, and job opportunities. With the right support, they can apply their unique personal talents, intelligence, and work ethic for a true sense of inclusion and purpose.
Importantly, this requires welcoming environments with companies who understand and appreciate the differences and value each individual offers.
The Spectrum of Employment
With over 20,000 families impacted by autism in Central Florida alone, there is a massively underutilized workforce in our backyard.
Jonathan’s Landing is developing an integrated skills training, coaching, and mentoring program in alliance with local service providers and industry experts.
This program will provide both direct vocational and professional training for adults with autism, as well as training and coaching for employers to prepare them to successfully onboard and support new employees.
