What is ``Dignity of Work``?
Dignity of Work (DoW) is SAAC’s initiative to make supported employment more accessible to persons with moderate autism.
This is different from open employment in the following ways:
- Work in the chosen industries is simple and manageable for persons with moderate autism.
- Supported employment means that persons with moderate autism are working alongside supportive colleagues. This enables them to overcome the challenges caused by their autism in a work setting.
- In open employment, employees are expected to be economically productive in order justify their pay. The aim of DoW is to provide persons with autism the opportunities to be productive and contribute to society.
We understand the value of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the significance of making a lasting impact on society. That’s we’re reaching out to introduce you to a unique opportunity that aligns seamlessly with our mission to create a brighter, more inclusive future for individuals with autism.
We invite you to explore SAAC’s “Dignity of Work” programme, designed to empower adults with autism and enrich their lives through vocational training. This programme offers a profound chance to make a tangible difference in our community, while reinforcing your company’s commitment to social responsibility.
