About Neurodiversity Works

At Neurodiversity Works, our mission is to empower individuals with diverse neuro-variations, such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, to achieve meaningful careers and sustainable wages in the rapidly expanding drone and analytics industry. We also strategically partnership with Google Career Certificates, to provide flexible, industry-recognized online training programs that fast-track our participants into high-growth technology fields. We specialize in comprehensive drone analytics education while fostering inclusivity and innovation by actively advocating for neurodivergent talent.


Our dedicated programs combine hands-on drone technology experience with data analytics expertise, creating pathways to professional success through specialized training initiatives. We are committed to breaking down barriers and leveraging the unique perspectives and abilities of neurodivergent individuals to drive innovation in the drone sector and beyond. Through our comprehensive approach to education and employment, we're building a future where neurodivergent talents not only participate in but lead the technological revolution.

Statistics

40-percent graphic

A staggering 40% of neurodivergent adults, encompassing those with ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, and more, are unemployed—a rate threefold compared to the general disability population.

85-percent graphic

Despite education, 85% of autistic college graduates find themselves without employment.

4-percent graphic

Only a meager 4% of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives include disability as a focal point, even though neurodivergent individuals comprise an estimated 20-30% of the population.

Although there has been a considerable improvement in  understanding and acknowledgment of neurodiversity, persistent stigmas and barriers continue to hinder professional advancement for our community. Recognized for high levels of creativity, innovation, problem-solving capabilities, and focus, neurodivergent people can face challenges in standard workplace practices, leadership roles, and social scenarios due to prevailing misconceptions and social norms.

​

In the booming drone industry, there's not just an opportunity but a necessity to harness the capabilities of neurodivergent individuals. By consciously integrating us into the workforce, the industry could not only drive innovative developments but also play a significant role in dismantling discrimination and mitigating the disproportionately high unemployment rates among this remarkably qualified demographic. Engaging neurodiversity could indeed be a strategic move towards achieving sustained growth and innovation in the industry while promoting a genuinely inclusive work environment.
