Autism Plus is aiming to help young adults between 18 and 24 with special educational needs or disability (SEND) to overcome barriers and make progress towards employment, apprenticeship or traineeship.
Their new free employment support programme is person centred, delivered on a 1-1 basis with some optional group sessions, focusing on areas such as confidence boosting, identifying and understanding their own needs, independence skills, money management, preparing for interviews and reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
Eligibility for the programme is any SEND need (formal diagnosis not necessary), living in Sheffield, being aged between 18-24 and claiming or about to claim Universal Credit.
