Spectrum Advantage is a community-based project of Autism Calgary that was designed to educate, assist and support individuals (18-30) living on the autism spectrum to find employment.

Participants follow a 4 month program providing a four week classroom program that assists all participants with soft skill development and also includes financial assistance to participants.  Following this a three month work experience is arranged in partnership with employers in a variety of industries in Calgary. A wage reimbursement is available to the employers for the 3 months work experience in order to cover the costs of on-boarding and training a new employee. Ongoing job coaching is was available to all our participants on and off the job.

We are also actively looking for participants and employer partners for all cohorts throughout the current phase. If you are interested please contact Sarah Taylor at

Please feel free to call us for any questions/referrals and of course any presentations you might find useful.
