Empowering People

At Dell, we believe that everyone has unique strengths and skills to contribute in the workplace. We strive to create an environment that is inclusive and accessible for all. As neurodiversity is a broad category, we decided to first focus on an effort for those on the autism spectrum, rethinking the traditional interview process and removing barriers that may limit an individual from fully showcasing their true abilities and potential.

The Dell Autism Hiring Program was launched with the intent to provide career readiness training and possible full time career opportunities for individuals on the autism spectrum.

I have been working as a Software Quality Engineer at Dell since September, and my work has been enjoyable and fulfilling. The people I work with every day are friendly and helpful, and I am learning new ways to contribute to my team every day. I’m really thankful for getting the opportunity to prove myself capable for this job, and I feel confident that I have an exciting future here at Dell Technologies! A.J., former intern current Dell employee

From the moment I first met CJ, I knew he was gifted. We spent almost an hour talking about his journey in learning Python. By the end of the initial conversation, my head was spinning with ideas of how to put his incredible skill set to use on my team. When CJ first joined my team, he hit the ground running and quickly acclimated to the various development environments we have to work with. My work with CJ has been one of the most fulfilling professional and personal experiences of my entire career. I am eternally grateful for this program, and I highly encourage anyone interested in this program to reach out for more information. Dan, CJ's Manager
