IL PROGETTO IN 4 CLIC
A BRIDGING PROJECT
to accompany students with autism and neurodevelopmental disorders towards job placement
The "ALL INCLUSIVE: Let's overcome in Safety" project is financed by the Italian Autism Foundation, with the aim of testing operational tools to support the job placement and PCTO pathways of individuals with autism spectrum disorder, also considering the overcoming of obstacles resulting from safety courses.
The research is aimed at students of classes III, IV, V of high schools, with a special focus on girls and boys with neurodevelopmental disorder.
Technological support, through the creation of simulated enterprise video-scenarios, represents the innovative aspect of the project, through which good practices on work safety and indirect experiences of work tasks can be provided.
The aim is to improve the employability and support the job placement of girls/boys with autism spectrum disorder at the end of their school career.

As part of Career Week 2023, during the day dedicated to the theme "Work and Disability - Beyond the logic of targeted employment", Prof. Alessandra Romano, coordinator of the All Inclusive Project, presented the initiative to a large audience of students, lecturers, company representatives and families.
The contribution is available from minute 12 of the video.
Specific objectives of the project
- Creation of a multi-actor network
- Mapping of the PCTO paths activated by the partner schools and desk analysis on a national level of the experiences of work orientation paths with students with neurodiversity
- Training of the "Learning Professional Job Advisor" as a figure within the teaching staff who can:
- study practices and strategies for the implementation of PCTO and work orientation pathways, with particular reference to support for learning about safety regulations;
- promote and experiment simulated enterprise paths, with high technological content, that involve multistakeholder communities, schools, families, enterprises, associations, cooperatives, Regional School Offices, and that are effective in increasing the professional possibilities of students with autism spectrum disorder.
