Joining forces to scale inclusion for neurodivergent people in India
The access to good education and appropriate training for neurodivergent persons is scarce in India, with a resulting gap in skill and market demand. With adequate learning opportunities, neurodivergent persons can develop varied level of skillsets which are suitable for computer based as well as non-computer-based roles. Over the years, with appropriate domain and process training, several job roles across sectors have opened up for persons with neurodiversity.
To scale inclusion of this community, EnAble India Solutions and Specialisterne Foundation has established the joint venture ‘Specialisterne Enable India Solutions’. This new partnership aims to address the inclusion challenge by offering a range of services within employment and education fields for neurodivergent persons in India.
Specialisterne Enable India Solutions’ neurodiversity inclusion program will offer support to job candidates within business development, placement and training. It also provides services to employers who wish to make their workplaces more inclusive, with regard to staffing and outsourcing. Besides employment, the joint venture will work with early intervention in education.
Committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the two trusted and established organizations seek to integrate the vulnerable neurodivergent community by promoting access to quality education and creating employment opportunities.
