Pilot of recruiting program with autism starts by Microsoft. The company from Redmond, puts to start the program as promised before about a few days, at an event on the World Autism Day.
Microsoft to successful completion of this program will work with the company Specialisterne. The Specialisterne is a company that employs mostly people who have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders. Employees working as consultants for software testing, programming or data entry, in both the private and public sector.
The Deputy Microsoft, Mary Ellen Smith, said that "Microsoft is stronger when the opportunity to create a workforce diversity is given, representing our clients. People with autism can bring new forces we need to Microsoft. Each person is different, some have amazing ability to retrieve information, others think deep and different levels, and others are excellent in mathematics or in the code. "
According to the United Nations, more than 80% of adults have been diagnosed on the spectrum are unemployed. The integration of people with autism in society is very important and the opening of a company of Microsoft's size in these people, perhaps an incentive for other, larger or smaller companies.
