Harnessing Neurodiversity in the Workplace: Explore NCI’s brand-new course to further realise the potential that lies in everyone


National College of Ireland is immensely proud to announce that the College is offering a brand-new course that explores neurodiversity, with a view to graduates gaining a solid base of knowledge and skills to take advantage of the opportunities and develop strategies around the challenges for organisations gaining the full potential of Neurodiverse employees.  

When reflecting on bringing this new course to life, Programme Director Dave Cormack shares “I am happy to have added leading the development of this microcredential to the many passions I have in life. Developing this programme meant exploring my own experience as a dyslexic and consulting with others from the wide and varied neurodiverse community.” ~ Dave Cormack, Assistant Professor at NCI School of Business.  

The Certificate in Harnessing Neurodiversity in the Modern Workplace  course will take place online for a duration of 5 weeks.  

This course has been carefully designed for: 

  • Neurodiverse employees, managers and employers.  
  • An individual who is working or planning to work in an organisation with a neurodiverse workforce. 
  • Employers who want to understand and access neurodiverse talent and/or harness the neurodiversity of their current workforce.  
  • People with a Clinical / Psychological / Occupational Therapy background who assist people from the neurodiversity community seeking employment.

“I encourage individuals working or planning to work in an organisation with a neurodiverse workforce, employers who want to understand and access neurodiverse talent, or harness the neurodiversity of their current workforce, as well as individuals within the neurodiverse community seeking a greater understanding of themselves and how they can better contribute to the workplace to consider joining me on a journey to explore the challenges and benefits of neuro inclusion in the modern workplace.” ~ Dave Cormack, Assistant Professor at NCI School of Business.
