TransitAction is an Erasmus + funded project started in October 2020 with the aim to provide Young Adults with Autism (YAA), Transition Coaches (TC) and other actors in their lives, new skills and innovative tools to support YAA in the difficult transition from school or inactivity to employment.

Final Dissemination Event

On 25th October, the Consortium of the Erasmus Plus Project, TransitAction, celebrated the results and impact of their work in providing YAA, Transition Coaches and other actors in their lives, new skills and innovative tools to support them in the difficult transition from school or inactivity to employment.
