EASY is a three-year project that aims to create tools to support the development of employability skills for autistic people. This project brings together partners from various European countries and is funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union.
About EASY
A significant percentage of autistic people are currently unemployed due to a lack of job-seeking training opportunities. The consortium wishes to offer guidance related to this journey by creating high-quality and targeted materials to support autistic youth by upskilling them. The project intends to focus on training youth workers so that they can better support autistic youth to develop their employability through informal and non-formal education.
