UCC Autism Friendly University Initiative featured in the international IMAGE Good Practice Guides!

9 Mar 2022

In early 2020, during the Autism Friendly University Initiative, UCC representatives took part in workshops for the IMAGE project (Improving Employment for Autistic Graduates in Europe). This international project looked for examples of good practice in supporting autistic graduates in transitioning to employment.

The outputs from this project have just been released and UCC is delighted to be featured in each of the 4 Good Practice Guides for supporting autistic graduates into employment. These guides are available to download in 5 different languages and can be personalised to each higher education institution.

The UCC Autism Friendly University Initiative (including the Calm Zone and the Digital Badge) has been featured in the guide as an example of good practice (alongside the UCC DSS Employability programme!). Interviews with our staff also contributed to the content of these guides.  

UCC is proud to see the work of the AFU Project recognised in an international context.
