The INFUSE Erasmus+ project is a small-scale project started in 2022 to develop an innovative best practice for a job placement path dedicated to autistic adults in the agricultural sector.

Autistic people commonly experience numerous barriers to access employment. Across Europe, there is not enough organizations able to provide supported employment programs to autistic adults. There is also an urgent need of supporting autistic adults through innovative education approaches to ensure that they benefit from adapted vocational training. Such training should offer tailored learning based on adequate skills identification and screening and should promote job accessibility and social inclusion.

The E-INFUSE project aims to implement a joint initiative addressing this gap by promoting cooperation and exchange of experiences among organizations working with autistic people, to foster their social inclusion through the creation of education opportunities. Ultimately, the objective is to contribute to designing and give open access to a best practice model for supporting access to employment for autistic.
