The DXC Dandelion Program is an initiative designed to build valuable information technology skills and careers for individuals on the autism spectrum. Combining the use of robotics with commercial IT industry teaching and methodology, the focus of the program is on building and developing technical, life and executive functioning skills.

People with autism have long been overlooked in the workplace. The Dandelion Program hopes to reach that large population of potential employees and harness their skills, while providing a holistic employment experience that prepares them for future careers within the technology field. The Program is designed to provide high levels of support to employees, both from a technical and autism perspective, and to ensure that they are able to learn and grow as employees and as individuals.

The Dandelion Program is not just about recruiting people with autism. The Program is reworking the organisational fabric of DXC to accept and integrate these individuals, and to prepare them for the workplace and for a career in information technology.
