Steve Hill - on closing the unemployment gap for autistic people
Steve Hill is the Commercial Director at auticon - a multinational IT consultancy and social enterprise that exclusively employs adults on the autism spectrum as consultants.
In the UK, autistic people face the highest unemployment rate in the country. Only 22% of autistic people are in employment. When, 79% of autistic people who are out of work and receiving unemployment benefits want to work. And a further 43% of those who have worked report having left or lost a job because of their autism.
auticon has become "unofficially one of the biggest employers of people diagnosed with autism in the world."
This week we took a deep dive with Steve on the work auticon does to educate organizations on neurodiversity while creating a job market for autistic people with a background in STEM.
