Microsoft Wants to Hire More People with Autism
Microsoft wants to hire more people with autism – Microsoft on Monday announced a pilot program to hire workers with autism.
The company is working with an organization called Specialisterne, which helps create and find jobs for autistic workers. Microsoft will focus on filling full-time positions at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
The news comes just after World Autism Awareness Day, which was last Thursday. According to corporate vice president Mary Ellen Smith, the software giant has been “committed to enabling people with disabilities to be successful for a long time.”
Smith said, “Microsoft is stronger when we expand opportunity and we have a diverse workforce that represents our customers. People with autism bring strengths that we need at Microsoft.”
