Overview of the Neurodiversity Program at NGA
The podcast episode features an interview with Jen King, the senior geo-analyst and program manager of the neurodiversity program at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA). The program was launched as a pilot collaboration with MITRE in December 2020, focusing on recruiting neurodiverse individuals, specifically those on the autism spectrum, to work at NGA. The pilot ran successfully until June 2021, and participants who completed it received formal offers of employment. Lessons learned from the pilot are still being applied as the program moves forward, with plans to incorporate neurodivergent individuals into NGA's existing people with disabilities programs.
