About Our Vocational Programs

​ At Unicorn we believe everyone has a purpose and place in this world. It’s through connections, actions, and responsibilities that we build a sense of self. This helps fulfill our goal of helping every neurodivergent individual figure out how to live there most productive independent life possible. One of the major hurdles for this community is finding meaningful lasting employment. Having a team and having a place to go everyday are things we take for granted but are vital to the success of anyone on the spectrum.

 Wyndham hotel

​Our Hospitality Program at the Wyndham hotel is the perfect vehicle to help the neuro-divergent grow their skills based on their strengths in a professional environment where they can be a productive member of the team. We keep our coach to participant ratio low so everyone can get the individualized and specialized attention they require. Coaches provide these individuals with the visual supports they need to help them be as successful as possible.
 
This program is the perfect opportunity to build on the individual’s skills. Throughout this experience participants learn independence, time management, and essential social skills for the job environment.
