Voices of Community: Neurodiversity in Life and at Work
Meristem is a nonprofit program that supports young adults on the autism spectrum to develop greater independence. Our podcast will be talking about our program and interviewing people dealing with challenges of integrating into the workforce. Meristem's Breaking Barriers Transformative Autism Program has worked with hundreds of employers and job seekers to hire, train, and retain neurodivergent people.
Join hosts Erin Schirm and Harrison Lane for real stories of "the messy middle" from people breaking workforce barriers and building real equity and inclusion.
