Summary
This study tests whether an internet-based job interview training program (Virtual Interview Training) helps autistic young adults improve their interview skills and find jobs. About 200 participants will either use the training or continue with their usual services. Researchers will track employment, interview skills, and anxiety levels to see if the training makes a difference.
