Asynchronous, Online Trainings for University Professionals and Employers

[Alli MacNamara]

Hello CAN-Canvas friends! 

I am excited to share that the Kinney Center for Autism at Saint Joseph's University just launched two new non-credit asynchronous online courses that may be of interest to you all as well as your campus and employment partners. These trainings have been developed by our team of autism support professionals based on increased demand for training and consultation services. 

Colleges Learn about Autistic Student Support (CLASS) is currently enrolling its foundational course, An Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Neurodiversity. This training series is aimed specifically at faculty and staff in higher education and equips these learners with the knowledge and tools to create a more inclusive, supportive campus experience for autistic and neurodivergent students. 

Neurodiversity at Work (N@W) is currently enrolling its first, foundational course, The Benefits of a Neurodiverse Workforce. Created for corporate leaders, managers and HR professionals, the multi-course series explores the value of neurodiversity through practical, research-based strategies and empowers organizations to recruit, acknowledge and support neurodivergent talent, creating stronger, more inclusive workplaces. 

Embracing neurodiversity in the workplace is both a responsibility and business advantage. Integrating inclusive practices can promote engagement, creativity and productivity. N@W equips professionals with the tools and insights needed to embed inclusion into every part of the employment lifecycle and leverage the strengths of a neurodiverse workforce.

If you are interested in learning more about these learning opportunities, please feel free to reach out to me directly or kinney...@sju.edu. If you are headed to Pittsburgh for the summit, please feel free to stop by our table and speak with our staff members, Allie and Michelle.
