Being on the spectrum can present many challenges to gaining substantial employment, how we face these challenges really identifies whether we are successful or not.
So what are they and how do we combat them so that it’s possible to gain the employment that best “harnesses” our skills and abilities that makes for the most valuable employee?
First and foremost a vast percentage  of individuals on the spectrum can and do successfully complete certification and or college degrees within their chosen fields of passion and yet struggle to gain employment.
Why?
Research shows us that knowledge and skills of those on the spectrum can and often meet the “Key “criteria of a job application for employers, yet many fail on the “Desirable” criteria required from the employer for a positive “fit” for a vacancy.
This is where we as a society and community “fail” to provide the social support required for successful employment.
Repploy staff understands, identifies and combat these challenges providing the skills, strategies and tools for long term employment engagement that is beneficial to both the employer and the employee.
