Our mission

To prepare autistic adults
for tech careers

There are many unfilled jobs in the tech sector and many unemployed autistic adults. This presents a perfect opportunity! Autistic individuals often have the ideal aptitudes and abilities for tech careers, but may lack the required technical skills or job experience.

ATI exists to fill those gaps through structured learning pathways, certifications, internships, mentoring, job coaching, etc. This will increase the supply of ready-to-work autistic technologists and ultimately decrease unemployment and underemployment within the autistic community.
