The UK’s Challenge
29%
Employment Rate for Autistic People
A significant loss of talent and potential for both individuals and the economy. Traditional support systems fail to address this gap, leading to a lack of meaningful employment.

80%
Employment Rate for Non-Disabled People
Our programme bridges this gap by creating a community of practice built on a strengths-based, neuro-affirming model, leading to meaningful employment and thriving communities.
Train a Cohort of Neuro Coaches
Enrol and graduate a minimum of 80 individuals, across four cohorts, from the Neurolearn.online Level 3 ‘Neuro Coach’ programme, with an 85% completion rate.
Establish a Community Support Network
Create a sustainable network of certified Neuro Coaches capable of offering bespoke, strengths-based support.
Improve Employment Pathways
Utilise Neurolearn.online’s diverse courses to provide neurodivergent individuals with certified skills, enhancing their employability in a key growth sector.
Develop Digital & Life Skills
Offer courses on innovative machine learning tools and other practical skills to equip individuals for a modern workforce.
Measure Social Impact
Implement a robust framework to measure the project’s qualitative and quantitative impact on participants’ lives.
The Current Challenge
The DWP Access to Work programme often funds individuals who lack specialised training, applying a neurotypical coaching model that is ineffective and can be detrimental to neurodivergent clients. This system fails to create meaningful, lasting support.
Our Innovative Solution
We train certified Neurocoaches with a deep awareness of neurodiversity. Our programme teaches them to use a strengths-based model and innovative tools, such as machine learning, to create effective learning bridges for individuals with dyslexia and other neurodivergent conditions.
A Self-Sustaining Future
This highly skilled workforce can be funded directly by the DWP, filling a critical gap in service provision. This ensures the project’s longevity and continued impact long after the initial funding period, creating a lasting positive change for the neurodiverse community.
