Specialisterne Scotland to help autistic people
5th August 2010
People with autism living in Scotland look set to benefit from one company's barrier-free recruitment processes that will see 12 initial trainees employed in Glasgow testing software for the next six months.
Specialisterne Scotland - a group developed by Community Enterprise in Scotland (CEiS), in conjunction with the Autism Research Centre and the National Autistic Society Scotland - is hoping to increase its workforce to 61 by 2015.
The payroll will eventually include 50 people with autism, with the work specifically designed to tap into the skills and characteristics they possess, such as attention to detail, precision and accuracy, the Scotsman observed.
Chief executive of CEiS Gerry Higgins said: "Specialisterne Scotland has the potential to change lives for the better by providing mainstream employment at the market rate."
The organisation is currently recruiting for its Work Preparation Programme, with information sessions being held on September 20th and 21st and those who are not successful in securing a position will be offered extra assistance in finding other employment and training opportunities.
