Our “Aid” Approach
At COG Connections, Our methodology is rooted in the acronym “AID” representing “Attract, Inform, and Direct.” The AID process is implemented with every candidate to ensure their readiness for employment.
Attract
Our strategy revolves around establishing a platform where neurodivergent candidates can come together to explore and access opportunities. Acting as a reliable resource for these candidates, we can subsequently provide training, qualification, and facilitate suitable matches for the benefit of all parties involved.
Inform
Within our community, candidates are consistently involved in educational activities, corporate best practices, individual and group coaching. This dynamic approach helps them recognize their skills, enhance areas that require development, and maintains an enriching environment for continuous learning within the community.
Direct
Candidates remain in our pool until a suitable alignment is found between their skill set and an employer’s requirements. Following this, a series of steps including interviews, preparation, and training is undertaken to equip them for their prospective position. Details such as work hours, virtual or in-person arrangements, accommodations, and any unique needs are meticulously arranged.
Neurodiversity Training
Training programs designed to educate and empower organizations to create inclusive and supportive environments for neurodivergent individuals.
