On the spectrum — and on the job
Verusen, a global supply chain firm headquartered in Atlanta, and Daivergent, a public benefit corporation for persons with autism and neurodiversity, today unveiled a joint plan to create jobs in data and artificial intelligence for workers on the spectrum.
Paul Noble, CEO of Verusen, says the partnership between the companies “underscores the tremendous value this high potential but underutilized talent population provides and dispels the common misconception that AI takes jobs away.” Daivergent head Byran Dai added, “The multi-faceted benefits of matching candidates on the spectrum with highly intricate work is rewarding and boosts business and productivity.” globenewswire.com
