This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a job support program called the Individualized Placement and Support (IPS) model works well for autistic young adults. Researchers will compare two approaches: some job agencies will receive training to deliver IPS services, while others will provide their usual support plus weekly career skills coaching. The goal is to see which approach helps more young adults succeed in finding real jobs.
Many autistic young adults want to work but face barriers in finding and keeping jobs. This trial exists to test whether this evidence-based job support model can be adapted specifically for autistic people and to understand what helps some individuals succeed better than others.

If you join, you will work with a job coach or employment specialist for 12 months. Depending on which program you're assigned to, you'll either receive specialized job support training or weekly career skills sessions covering topics like resume writing, interviewing, and workplace communication. You'll also complete surveys and interviews so researchers can understand what's working and what challenges you face. The study involves supported employment agencies across California.
