Autism Works! How to be an Autism Confident Employer Training
Would you like to:
- Become a more inclusive employer?
- Enhance the confidence of your team to recruit, retain and promote autistic staff?
Our interactive professional training is designed to equip professionals to understand the diverse capabilities and skill-sets autistic individuals can bring to their workforce, and build confidence in recruiting, retaining, and promoting autistic staff.
Our training stands out because it has been co-produced with an Advisory Group of work-experienced autistic people. Courses are delivered by 3 talented autistic trainers, who have substantial professional experience in a range of different sectors and roles.
Topics we cover:
- What is autism?
- What does an autistic person experience?
- Autism-inclusive work environment, recruitment, and adjustments
- Continuing to thrive: retention and career progression
- Resources and sources of support
- What can you do?
The course is aimed at professionals responsible for managing staff or work environments, or for developing good organisational practice. However, it is suitable for anyone with an interest in inclusive work practices.
This is a 3-part course delivered interactively to small groups of up to 15 participants. We ask that participants attend all three sessions of the course as these build on one another.

The speakers several times used specific examples to illustrate concepts, and this is what made this seminar stand out from simply ‘helpful’ to very very informative, where I actually have a much deeper understanding of the issues surrounding autism in the workplace and how to best support autistic employees.

Disability Awareness Training
A large part of being able to offer 1:1 support to disabled people and those with health conditions find sustainable work involves us engaging and liaising with employers.
Employers want to get it right around recruitment, retention and the development of their workforce. It’s expensive not too!
However, we find even with the best of intentions and inclusive policies, many employers are glad to take advantage of our practical experience and input.
‘It’s important for us to work with the likes of Into Work and continuously review how we approach selection, recruitment and attraction of candidates with disability’
