For Employers
Connect in one place with university professionals working with neurodivergent students across campuses and build relationships to help with career development and job opportunities for ND students.
For Universities
Expand or supplement the career support you offer to neurodivergent students and alumni through University Council resources. Share and contribute to education, programming and resources.
Meetings and live virtual discussions that support ongoing relationship building and discussion between and among schools and employers
Email communications and University Council website that deliver news, resources, and key information to council member schools and, when applicable, employers
Annual Symposium that brings together companies and universities for a full-day workshop to move the work forward in an in-person and hands-on format.
Innovative programming, ideas, and resources developed in collaboration with council members that create opportunities, support, and solutions for members and ND job seekers where none currently exist.

Take Action
UConn’s Center for Neurodiversity and Employment Innovation (CNDEI) is committed to exponentially growing the number of employers that offer meaningful career opportunities for bright, neurodivergent individuals nationwide. Which also means we work hand-in-hand with universities to support them however we can in successfully identifying, preparing, and connecting these talented individuals.
