洛杉矶县启动「神经多样性就业」倡议：首批25名候选人经专门招募培训后进入县府就业通道
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县10月29日宣布启动「神经多样性就业」倡议，为自闭症等神经多样性居民开辟进入县政府工作的专门通道。首批25名候选人将由非营利机构 NeuroTalent Works 负责招募与培训，再对接县府岗位。
这项倡议源于县监事会2025年4月1日一致通过的一项动议，由监事 Hahn 与 Mitchell 提出。县人力资源部牵头实施，合作方包括县老龄与残障事务部、县残障委员会以及全县七个区域中心。
县府表示，神经多样性求职者在传统招聘流程中常因面试形式与沟通方式吃亏，专门通道将提供岗位匹配、入职辅导与工作场所支持，帮助候选人在县府各部门长期留任。
洛杉矶县是全美人口最多的县，县政府也是南加州最大的雇主之一。这项倡议是县府近年来将多元包容招聘从文书岗位扩展至更广泛部门的最新一步。
Los Angeles County, California: County Launches Neurodiversity Employment Initiative, With a First Cohort of 25 Candidates Recruited and Trained for County Jobs
Los Angeles County, California, announced the launch of a Neurodiversity Employment Initiative on October 29, opening a dedicated pathway into county government jobs for neurodivergent residents, including autistic adults. A first cohort of 25 candidates will be recruited and trained by the nonprofit NeuroTalent Works and then matched to county positions.
The initiative stems from a motion unanimously adopted by the Board of Supervisors on April 1, 2025, introduced by Supervisors Hahn and Mitchell. The county's Department of Human Resources leads the program, in partnership with the Department of Aging and Disabilities, the County Commission on Disabilities and the county's seven regional centers.
County officials said neurodivergent job seekers are often disadvantaged by conventional interview formats and communication expectations, and that the dedicated pathway will provide job matching, onboarding coaching and workplace support to help candidates stay and grow in county departments.
Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States, and its government is one of Southern California's largest employers. The initiative is the county's latest step to extend inclusive hiring across a broader range of departments.
