World Autism Acceptance Month (WAAM) is a crucial opportunity to amplify the message of acceptance and inclusion for autistic individuals. While Edge Group Scotland champions this ethos year-round, WAAM provides a valuable platform to raise awareness and drive meaningful change, particularly in the realm of employment.

Engaging with supported internships isn't just a socially responsible initiative; it's a strategic business move. By providing opportunities, employers gain access to a diverse and dedicated workforce. Many young adults with learning disabilities bring unique strengths, loyalty, and a strong work ethic to their roles. Businesses can also benefit from a more inclusive and diverse work environment.

We are thrilled to announce that Edge Group Scotland has been recognised as a Disability Confident Committed employer under the UK government's Disability Confident scheme! This accreditation reflects our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive workplace for everyone.
