**COMPANY PROFILE**

Founded in 2004, Jake’s House is a national registered charity both Provincially and Federally funded.

Jake’s House mission is to provide meaningful support to families living with autism across the country. Recognizing that more than any other single issue, families dealing with autism need a community, Jake’s House is committed to growing a strong network of people who understand and care - a family, determined to provide tangible solutions at every stage of life.

In addition to growing a caring, committed community, Jake’s House offers a continuum of structured services to provide practical help today and lasting hope for tomorrow. Through four strategic offerings - social events for the whole family; mentoring programs for youth; employment opportunities for young adults; and housing for the aging population - Jake’s House supports individuals on the spectrum throughout their entire lifespans.

Through these events and services, as well as other strategic initiatives, Jake’s House strives to empower individuals with autism; offer their caregivers support and respite; raise awareness; share resources; and build a caring community. Jake’s House is dedicated to delivering assistance to those who need it right now, while also determined to establish a support system for future generations.

**PROJECT DESCRIPTION**

Jake’s House Employment Mentoring Program (EMP) is an innovative, adaptable program that supports the integration of young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or a developmental disability (DD), aged 18+, into the workforce. Through a training & skills program followed by placements at companies in diverse fields, the young adults receive opportunities to develop their professional skills and demonstrate them to employers looking to build strong, vibrant teams, all under the guidance of caring mentors.

By supporting the integration of young adults on the spectrum into the workforce through training & skills development followed by professional placements, the Employment Mentoring Program presents real opportunity to all key program participants.
