The opportunities of exploring this untapped resource are significant, especially in light of the severe worldwide shortage of STEM-related talent. Early adapters to working with individuals on the autism spectrum in these fields will have an advantage over companies who delay. The sooner an organization internalizes the experiences of working alongside people with autism, the sooner they will reap the rewards.

At Focus, we are your conduit to realizing the benefits of working with people on the spectrum.

Employing people with disabilities, particularly people with autism in business professional jobs, such as IT, is garnering greater public attention and acceptance. Focus is a force in the BC business community in normalizing the hiring, onboarding, and retaining of ASD talent.
