Neurodiversity at Work
Overview
The Yang-Tan Institute partnered with five multi-national companies to design and implement engaged-learning internships focused on workplace neurodiversity inclusiveness. These are 14-week, for-credit experiences for Cornell ILR School undergraduates.
Students worked in the companies to support applicant recruitment, screening, supervisor training, and working effectively with higher education institutions. Students also worked on other special initiatives focused on identifying neurodiverse job applicants and integrating neurodiverse employees into the business.
