Summary
NANAWorks is building a multi-component online platform to remove the barriers for the youth and adult autism community currently associated with the face to face coaching model for employment success. The face to face model relies on frequent in person meetings which requires access to transportation and comfort with sustained social activity which are both huge issues within the autism community. NANAWorks is also developing an autism specific employment coaching program to train existing coaches on how to engage with the Autism community.

Description (French)
NANAWorks est en train de mettre en place une plateforme en ligne à composantes multiples afin d'éliminer les obstacles auxquels sont confrontés les jeunes et les adultes autistes qui sont actuellement impliqués dans le modèle de coaching en face à face pour la réussite professionnelle. Le modèle en face à face repose sur des rencontres fréquentes en personne, ce qui nécessite l'accès au transport et le confort avec une activité sociale soutenue qui sont deux enjeux énormes dans la communauté des autistes. NANAWorks est également en train d'élaborer un programme de coaching en emploi propre à l'autisme afin de former les mentors actuels sur la façon de travailler avec la communauté des autistes.
