Wells Fargo Neurodiversity Program
A more considerate, accommodating, skills-based hiring model that is accessible by design.
Overview
The Neurodiversity Program was launched in April 2020, in recognition of Autism Awareness Month, to address the significant and disproportionate unemployment rates within this underserved community. The program quickly evolved to encompass all aspects of neurodiversity, becoming the Wells Fargo Neurodiversity program. We create meaningful employment opportunities for an underserved community through accessible and modernized sourcing and selection processes. Today, we proudly support all business divisions across the enterprise.
