DID YOU KNOW?

In case you missed it last week...

Did you know that autism affects nearly 4 million people in the USA, with an unemployment rate of up to 90%?

Did you also know that the corporate sector lacks specialists in fields such as software testing and development? We have a unique opportunity to bridge the job gap, and make Florida lead our great nation, with innovative models to do so.

UM-NSU CARD, along with ASHOKA, are hosting Danish entrepreneur Thorkil Sonne who will share his revolutionary model with us. He founded the company Specialisterne (The Specialists) 8 years ago to demonstrate how the skills of people with autism can have a competitive advantage within tasks like software testing, analysis, quality control and data entry.

Please join us this Friday (November 2nd) from 10am - 12pm at the UM Newman Alumni Center, 6200 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables. RSVP IS REQUIRED. Please email a Rezende at rrezende@... to confirm your attendance. Space is limited.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, the couples workshop (scheduled for Tuesday, October 30th, in Davie) has been cancelled.
