About Creative Spirit

Creative Spirit US is a nonprofit organization . We specialize in supporting neurodiverse people (including those who are neurodivergent with Autism, ADHD, various learning disabilities, and more) in finding and keeping fair-wage jobs . We empower organizations through training to embrace neurodiversity, expand talent pipelines, and harness the unique innovation and creativity that neurodivergent individuals bring to the workplace.

Our Mission

Our mission is to accelerate the inclusion of neurodivergent individuals in the workforce, because they currently face a staggering unemployment rate of 85% . Our goal is to be part of the effort to place 1 million people in great jobs by 2030 as part of our #HireDifferent mission.

How We Support You

We offer more than just job placement by providing free coaching, mentoring, and training to help you and your teams succeed. So far, nearly 100% of the people we have placed have stayed in their jobs.

How We Support Employers

We work with employers to educate and empower them through our HireDifferent Academy portal and webinars to help build neuroinclusive workplaces . These tools guide them in optimizing their hiring, management, and communication practices to ensure access to a full spectrum of skilled, creative, and committed talent.

Workplace Accommodations

We believe you do your best work when you have the right tools, so we will support you in requesting workplace accommodations . These are always tailored to the individual, but common examples include:

• Accessible interviewing and extra time for onboarding.
• Assistive technology and software.
• Support for visual or hearing needs.
• Specific workplace training to help you complete tasks.
