At QUALIFICACTION, we are proud to embrace neurodiversity in the workplace. It is a cause that is dear to our hearts.
Our school board is continuously recognized for its efforts in promoting the inclusion and integration of students with special needs. Its business training division is committed to pursue this social mission and encourage these individuals who, as adults, deserve an equal chance at employment and the opportunity to realize their potential.
Neurodiversity refers to neurological differences in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention span, mood and other mental functions. Such differences can be at the root of conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and Asperger’s syndrome.
Sensitive to the daily challenges faced by neurodivergent people and firmly believing that diversity is a strength for the job market and for society as a whole, we wish to highlight the inclusion initiatives proposed by various organizations.
In a context of labor shortage that will persist for several years to come, employers are encouraged to seize the opportunity to implement an inclusive hiring program and give a chance to this segment of future workers who have their distinctive colors and unique potential to explore! These individuals are known to demonstrate great diligence, loyalty to their employer, being methodical and analytical as well as friendly.
Below are some of the organizations that promote the employability of neurodivergent people. We encourage you to use their services for employers.
