We are thrilled to announce that we have entered into a new partnership with The Frist Center for Autism and Innovation at Vanderbilt University as part of a grant from The National Science Foundation to build job training and skills content.

The project supports “meaningful, individualized workforce engagement of an existing, underutilized neurodiverse U.S. talent pool, in addition to supporting a more inclusive national employment landscape,” said David K. Wilson Professor of Engineering Nilanjan Sarkar, who is leading the effort for Vanderbilt.
