There are so many benefits of becoming a community partner for Worktopia programs! First, it allows organization to open their doors to a group of young employees-to-be that are motivated, willing to apply themselves to their fullest, and open to new experiences and challenges. Second, it provides organizations with a unique opportunity to learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorder, to raise awareness among colleagues and employees and to learn more about the inclusive hiring practices. A total win-win situation!

As a community partner for CommunityWorks Canada^®, you will open your doors to:

• 6 motivated students with ASD ages 15-21
• 7 university students with the role of supporting our participants with ASD 
• 3 trained staff members 

= a dynamic group of interns to help your organization
