The Autism Society of Alberta is excited to announce its newest Alberta-wide employment project in partnership with Meticulon Consulting Inc. With the innovative technology of the Meticulon Assessment Service (MAS), our team is eager to engage youth and adults across the province as they work toward their employment goals. Our mission is to engage with 200 youth and adults with autism and other neurodiversities.
The Employment Supports Program is open to neurodiverse individuals and persons with disabilities aged 16+. This program aims to help provide our participants with coaching and support through the Meticulon Assessment Service (MAS) software.
