At Minnesota Independence College & Community (MICC), we apply real-life competencies, a unique curriculum, and experiential teaching strategies to achieve the ultimate goal: that autistic and neurodivergent adults live vibrant, independent lives, by attaining and maintaining employment and creating lasting social connections. We believe in the importance of vocational training. In a society where the ability to get and keep a job is one of the single most important factors to living independently, only 32.5% of autistic young adults currently work for pay. Through MICC College Program, graduates become employed and achieve independence. We believe in the benefits of being engaged in the community. Roughly one in four autistic young adults is considered socially isolated – meaning no contact with anyone outside of their family for over a year. They are more likely never to see friends, never get called by friends, and never be invited to activities. Through MICC College and MICC Community Programs, participants develop lifelong friendships and discover the joy of living a vibrant life. Learn more at www.miccommunity.org
