Sensory Friendly Job Fair

Are you seeking competitive, integrative employment? 

The Autism Society of Greater Phoenix, along with Rio Salado College, are joining forces to host a Sensory Friendly Job Fair in the Phoenix area. Hundreds of teens and adults will have the opportunity to speak with employers willing and excited to hire them.
