Meet the Team
Our team is currently made up of 20 neurodiverse individuals. Ventures ATL is designed to address an important issue–the fact that many of these adults are suitably skilled to hold jobs for which there may be an apparent shortage of qualified and interested workers. While these adults may face a number of challenges in the job market, they have a relatively strong ability to perform the essential functions of the jobs provided by Ventures ATL.
