The Precisionists is a for-profit consulting firm that started in Delaware as a "B" corporation (they have a mission to give back in some way to the community).  They are now in Nashville lining up clients and have already completed two 4-week training sessions.  Will be moving to a facility soon near Metro Center and plan to open other facilities in different parts of the area.  Prior to choosing trainees, they require them to attend a 2-4 hr. information workshop to get to know the potential candidates.  Family members, job coaches, etc. are also encouraged to attend.  If accepted, they will then go through a 4-week training program to gain confidence, build trust, learn to work in teams, etc.  They will then try to place candidates in jobs suitable to their skills and needs in a variety of industries (not just technology).

They plan on having 3-4 classes per year from now on.  Interested parties can go on website and fill out a statement of interest (put down that you heard about it from Autism TN!) or can contact Kendal directly.
