AUTISM VALUED INCORPORATED
Module 01 — Meet Me Where You're At
This March, Autism Valued kicks off a brand-new program cycle with our enhanced 9-Module Job Seeker Roadmap — a practical, community-driven career development journey built from lived experience and professional career development expertise. Our first session begins exactly where every good journey should: with you, right now, exactly as you are.
The new program introduces a clearer structure with monthly modules, practical worksheets, and a dedicated facilitator who is an Careers Practitioner Specialising in Neurodiversity and Disability Employment Supports.
This means the program now combines two things that matter deeply to Autism Valued:
- Professional career development expertise
Lived experience leadership from within our community
Meeting Details
Our meetings are currently held online via Zoom on the last Friday of every month.
Participants gain access to a 09 module self-paced learning series, alongside monthly Job Seeker Meetings that provide space for reflection, questions, and connection regardless of which module someone is currently engaging with.
About This Session
Most job advice skips the most important step: understanding where you actually are right now. This first module is designed to change that.
Instead of jumping straight to resumes and applications, we begin with an honest, structured self-assessment of your current life position — your energy, your circumstances, your barriers, and your strengths.
This is career exploration the A-typical way.
What’s Included
