Employer Enrollment

Looking for bright, motivated young adults to complete short-term projects? Interested in increased productivity and strengthening diversity in your workplace? The UCLA College to Career Transition Program seeks employers interested in providing internship or employment opportunities to our young adults!

The College to Career program offers a 20-week training course for autistic young adults that teaches employment related social skills (e.g., building a resume, interviewing skills, navigating workplace communication and relationships, stress management, prioritization of work tasks, etc.) and then pairs them with a 10-week community internship. Our program will provide trainings for employers, including presenting information about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), strengths specific to these young adults, and how to best support these individuals at work. Our team can provide on-going support to your staff in working with these young adults.

All the young adults have some amount of college education and have various interests, ranging from basic clerical tasks to complex engineering work! Here are some of our young adult's interests:
