Optomen Productions, the TV production company behind Employable Me on BBC television, is looking for neurodiverse job seekers to be involved in a new production of Employable Me in the US.
Employable Me is the series where extraordinary job seekers aim to prove that neurological differences should be viewed as an asset rather than an obstacle in the workplace. With the help of experts who serve as mentors, these neurodiverse candidates unlock their hidden talents and nd the job that best suits their unique skill sets and strengths.
Optomen is currently developing the project in the US and are actively seeking individuals on the autism spectrum who have struggled to find employment, and wish to be involved in the US program.
