Despite these strengths, neurodiverse individuals often face higher unemployment rates and experience significant barriers and discrimination in the workplace. This interactive workshop aims to raise awareness and foster understanding of neurodiverse identities.

Often problems occur throughout the project and most result in setbacks, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Studies show that 80% of risks can be identified before they occur if we just take the time to identify them. Managing risks in a conscious way will reduce the effort the organization spends responding to the risks as well as minimize the potential impact of the risk on cost, quality and schedule.
