Connected Employment is a person-centered employment program that empowers neurodivergent individuals and their support systems with knowledge about employment options. Additionally, we offer staff training and provide support to navigate employment related resources. We have values rooted in individual care, access, and equity, and we work diligently to create support systems and work with people, not for people.

MISSION

We are dedicated to training and supporting neurodivergent individuals by providing the necessary skills and resources to secure and sustain meaningful employment.

VALUES

Our values are rooted in individual choice, care, access, and equity. The organization aims to create participatory and person-centered opportunities that respect and honor the unique experiences of neurodivergent individuals.

VISION

To create a world where neurodivergent individuals are fully included in the workforce, valued for their unique talents, and empowered to achieve long-term professional success.

Connected Employment recently completed a 9-week entrepreneurship program with over 30 participants, guiding them from foundational business skills to launching their own ventures. The cohort culminated in a market event on May 14th, where participants showcased and sold their products, gaining real-world experience in sales and customer service. The event was a success, and plans are underway for a future cohort. Take a look at the photo gallery below!
