TRACK supports people on the autism spectrum to access employment, through training, consultancy and creating opportunities.
TRACK currently offer 1-2-1 employment mentoring, which can be funded by Autism Forward for people over 18. There is an eligibility check prior to starting mentoring, but consultation meeting is free. Mentoring can help with job searches, CV development, letters of application, interview support, and transition. It can take place at a variety of locations, and can last up to 12
months.
Applicants will need to provide evidence that they are legally entitled to live and work in England and Wales and (if requested by the trustees) evidence of financial need. Priority will be given to applicants who have not had any previous employment-related mentoring and do not have other means available to pay for such mentoring. Contact thomas@track.org.uk to arrange an initial consultation, and he can then complete the application form with you.
TRACK provide training and consultancy services to businesses who want to ensure their workplaces are aware and accessible to people on the autism spectrum. You can access their e-learning course, here: An Introduction to Supporting Autism in the Workplace.

It hosts the drop-in Young Person's Crisis Café (for ages 12 to 18) on Mondays from 4pm to 8pm. There's no need to book, but visitors must register by 7.30pm.
