Client Spotlight

We were honored to celebrate Melwood’s abilIT program and neurodivergent workforce initiative with Sen. Ben Cardin, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, and Rep. Steny Hoyer last week. The initiative received the support of the delegation and a $500,000 federal investment.

abilIT is a neurodiverse workforce program that provides both technical and professional development training to help people with disabilities succeed in the job market. Melwood will also work directly with hiring organizations to ensure ongoing success for placed candidates, including management and co-worker training so that retention and growth opportunities are included in organizational plans.
