Neurodiversity Program Opens Applications for the 4th Edition: An Opportunity for the Inclusion of Autistic Professionals in the Tech Industry

We announce the opening of applications for the 4th edition of the Neurodiversity Program, an initiative aimed at promoting the employability of people with autism in technology companies. Launched in 2021, this program has already integrated 22 autistic professionals into Critical Software and Critical Techworks, which operate in the offices of Coimbra, Viseu, Porto, and Lisbon.

The goal of this initiative is to provide employment opportunities for autistic individuals who are interested in the technology field.
