About the LA County Partnership

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved this program, reflecting the County’s commitment to expanding access to meaningful public-service careers for neurodivergent job candidates and supporting county neurodivergent employees.

Through its partnership with NeuroTalent Works, LA County is investing in a more accessible and supportive pathway into County employment. The program will introduce job candidates to the County hiring process, strengthen their professional skills, and connect them to job opportunities across County departments.
