WHO SHOULD ATTEND: 
This workshop is designed for Hiring Managers and Team Leaders within the arts and creative sectors.

LEARNING OUTCOMES: 
The session will provide an insightful introduction to autism: what it is (and isn’t!), how autistic individuals experience the world, and the barriers they face in both society and the workplace.

Topics will include:

  • Communication styles;
  • sensory processing;
  • the need for predictability and control; and
  • reasonable accommodations.

This workshop will offer practical tools and valuable insights to help you create an autism-friendly interview, onboarding, and mentoring process. These strategies are crucial for fostering a more inclusive and accessible hiring environment. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a deeper understanding of autism awareness and accessibility.

The workshop will be approx. 3 hours with a 10 minute break for tea/coffee.

This workshop is subsidised by Safe to Create.
If you are based outside Dublin City, a limited number of travel bursaries are available to cover the travel costs to attend this workshop.
