At QUALIFICACTION, we proudly embrace neurodiversity in the workplace, a cause that is dear to our hearts.
Our school board is consistently recognized for promoting the inclusion and integration of students with special needs.

Neurodiversity refers to neurological differences in the human brain that affect sociability, learning, attention span, mood, and other mental functions. These differences can be the basis for conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, and Asperger’s syndrome.
Sensitive to the daily challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and firmly believing that diversity is a strength for the job market and society as a whole, we wish to highlight the inclusion initiatives proposed by various organizations.
In the context of a labor shortage that is expected to persist for several years, employers are encouraged to seize the opportunity to implement inclusive hiring programs. This approach gives neurodivergent individuals, who bring distinctive qualities and unique potential, a fair chance at employment. These individuals are known for their diligence, loyalty to their employers, methodical and analytical skills, as well as their friendliness.
Below are some organizations that promote the employability of neurodivergent individuals. We encourage employers to utilize their services.
