auticon US, a leading employer of autistic adults in technology and provider of neuroinclusion services, is excited to announce the launch of the auticon Training Institute (ATI), a new nonprofit organization dedicated to preparing autistic adults for technology careers. Building on auticon’s commitment to neurodiversity in tech, ATI’s tailored programs will empower autistic professionals to pursue careers in software engineering, data analysis, cybersecurity, and more. ATI offers structured training pathways, certifications, internships, mentorships, and networking opportunities—all free of charge for the trainees. “Autistic individuals often have the ideal aptitudes and abilities for tech careers, but may lack the required technical skills or job experience to land their first role,” says Vance Checketts, CEO of auticon US and ATI Board President. “ATI exists to fill those gaps, creating a mutual benefit for autistic adults and companies seeking skilled tech talent. Our goal is to increase the supply of ready-to-work autistic technologists and ultimately decrease unemployment and underemployment within the autistic community.” Pluralsight was an early supporter, and ATI trainees will complete online training programs and receive credentials through Pluralsight’s platform. ATI's Board Members and Advisors include industry leaders across business, technology, investment, and autism services: Bob McCowan, MBA, Jeffrey Hunter, Jodi Donnelly, Michael Storz, John Kingdeski, Eric Olafson, Alison Andreozzi, and Evan Bierman, MBA. The first cohort of trainees has completed their training and started internships at Regeneron. ATI welcomes outreach from companies that are interested in providing technical internship opportunities for ATI trainees: https://buff.ly/4e59JON Please follow this page for updates--we look forward to sharing our progress in creating career pathways for autistic tech professionals!
