WHAT WE DO VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON NETWORKING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT MENTORSHIP Neurodivergent people are often overlooked for advancement opportunities in the workplace. Infinity would look to be a space in which neurodivergent employees can access potential mentors that could help them reach their career goals effectively. It is often said that what makes neurodivergent people good at work is what prevents them from getting work. Infinity would look to deliver professional development workshops and activities tailored toward neurodivergent people and their unique needs. Networking events can often be overwhelming and overstimulating for neurodivergent people. Infinity would work to organize events online and in-person that would help neurodivergent people connect with peers in a safe and comfortable space. 4
