TACT (Teaching the Autism Community Trades) is a Denver-based nonprofit organization founded to encourage and empower the full spectrum of individuals with autism through skilled trades education and employment. Addressing the needs of the ASD community which experiences a 90% unemployment rate, TACT offers a strengths-based program developed specifically to provide training and create meaningful employment opportunities that are personally fulfilling to each individual student.  For the autism community, TACT creates a future full of purpose and promise.

The Autism community is the highest unemployment sector in the US, currently at 90%. TACT’s programs lead to employable jobs + lasting careers that are personally fulfilling and suited to each individual’s strengths.

We envision a world where neurodiversity is not only embraced but inherently valued. A world where the full spectrum of the autism community can contribute their talents and gifts and find personal fulfillment.
