The JobAut Coaching Methodology is a structured and neurodiversity-affirming framework developed to improve the inclusion of autistic adults in the open labour market.
The methodology is based on a holistic understanding of job placement: employment is not seen only as the result of matching a person to a vacancy, but as a process that requires trust, functional understanding, environmental adaptation, empowerment and continuous support.
Through this course, learners will explore the full JobAut pathway. The first step is the Placement Feasibility Interview, a structured and person-centred dialogue used to understand the coachee’s personal narrative, strengths, aspirations, barriers and support needs. The second step focuses on ICF-based assessment and job matching, translating qualitative information into a functional profile that can support the identification of suitable work contexts. The third step introduces the FROG-based coaching process, which helps autistic adults strengthen self-awareness, motivation, communication, autonomy and action planning.
The e-learning platform provides access to the main project results, including the JobAut Methodology, the JobAut Toolkit and the training materials developed for job coaches. It is intended as both a learning space and a practical reference point for professionals who wish to apply the JobAut approach in real employment and support contexts.
