Neurodiversity @ Work Candidates

HMEA’s Neurodiversity @ Work is a program designed to help highly skilled people with Autism and related unique challenges to overcome the barriers to obtaining competitive positions. One of our employment partners, DELL is looking to hire from the Neurodiverse workforce of applicants with experience in the technology field to participate in the DELL Enterprise Technology Training Initiative scheduled for April 2020. DELL is committed to changing the way people think about Neurodiversity in the workplace and have experienced how this change provides real benefits for their company through increased creativity and diversity of thought. HMEA and DELL recognize these unique individuals can have nontraditional career paths and experiences. Our collective goal is to help employers and applicants bridge the gap of a hiring process that does not identify these aptitudes and talents effectively. For the 2020 job opportunities, passion and potential are as important as experience and training, however the expectation is that successful applicants would have some aptitude in the related areas below.

Participants may have experience in ANY of the following areas:
• Experience with technology
• Using data analytical methods
• Use of mathematics to solve complex problems
• Use of programming languages
• Web Development
• Software Development/Testing
• Hardware Design/Testing
• Familiarity with machine learning techniques and algorithms

Beginning in April 2020, the Dell Enterprise Technology Training Initiative is a two-week classroom style program held on the DELL campus at 55 Constitution Blvd, Franklin MA 02038.
Dell Cohort Format

For individuals selected to participate in the two-week program, it will be an opportunity to:
• Build social and communication skills
• Learn how to highlight their tech- focused skills in the application process
• Develop and refine a resume and personal brand
• Learn skills to improve workplace performance
• Present their skills directly to DELL hiring managers
• Experience the culture of a cutting-edge global company

All cohort participants will receive a Certificate of Completion, and can add this experience to their resumes. In the past, select participants in this cohort have been offered full paid internships at DELL which could lead to full-time employment.
