Post-College Employment Program

Many college-educated individuals on the autism spectrum struggle to obtain and maintain employment post-graduation. The Kinney Center’s Post-College Employment Program entails a structured weekly or biweekly meeting with an assigned counselor in order to help degree-holding job seekers meet their professional goals. This program provides structured support in any or all of the following three phases:

  • Job Searching
  • Onboarding
  • Job Retention
  • Participants should meet the following criteria in order to be able to engage with the program as it was designed:

    • Hold a college degree
    • Be able to function in a workplace setting without 1:1 support
    • Be able to work cooperatively with a counselor towards goals relating to job searching, acclimation to the work site, and/ or job retention
  • The Post-College Employment Program runs in 15 week cycles, with the option to renew participation after the initial cycle (at least two cycles are suggested). Pricing reflects a single 15-week program.*

    For biweekly sessions: $3,000
    For weekly sessions: $6,000

    *Participants registered with state Vocational Rehabilitation services may be able to utilize this service to offset program costs. Contact Mary Ann Newell with questions.
