Professional added value due to autism spectrum profile

​

Passwerk's services are based on the qualities of people with an autism spectrum profile. It is precisely because of their autism that this group of people has exceptional qualities that are very valuable in the context of the services we offer to our clients. Passwerk communicates openly to the outside world—including our clients—that our consultants all have an autism spectrum profile and a normal to high aptitude.

​

Place of employment

​

The majority of our assignments are carried out on site, i.e. on location with our clients. In exceptional cases, assignments can also be carried out from one of our offices in Berchem (near Antwerp), Brussels, Hasselt or Roeselare. Passwerk strives to ensure that the one-way commute to an assignment is no more than one hour. Many of our clients are located in the Brussels region, but assignments are also carried out in the Flemish regions. For example, our West Flemish test engineers/QA specialists are mainly deployed in the West Flanders region.

​

Preparation of the assignment

​

Before a consultant is deployed for a new assignment with a client, a job coach will perform a site survey. Both the environment in which the assignment will be carried out and the corporate culture of the client are mapped out. This allows us to make a good estimation of the stimuli that may be present. We take this information into account when choosing the most suitable candidate. This decision will also include an evaluation of which consultant is best qualified for the new assignment in terms of technical profile.

 

If desired, before the assignment begins, your job coach will accompany you on the journey by public transport to the client and assist you in getting acquainted with your future work environment.

​

Successful start

​

To ensure a successful start, your job coach will be present at the start of the assignment.

​

Job coaching

​

Our job coaches are experienced in working with people with autism and have knowledge of software testing. As a Passwerk consultant, you will be assigned an individual job coach who will monitor you throughout your employment at Passwerk.

 

Your job coach will provide bespoke guidance and support. You can always contact your job coach yourself, but he or she will always contact you during the first few weeks of a new project:

​

• Daily (via email or telephone), to get a measure for any stresses/uncertainties;

• Every week or fortnight, the job coach will visit your workplace for an interview. This will give you the opportunity to identify issues, indicate bottlenecks, discuss specific situations, etc.

• The job coach will also have weekly or fortnightly contact with your regular contact person at the client's location. It is the goal of every job coach to make sure that you can work in optimal conditions.

​

Training

​

When you join Passwerk, you will first follow an internal training course to become a software tester. This is a specialised training course that normally lasts 3 to 4 weeks and ends with an exam to obtain a certificate in software testing (ISTQB). You will learn to work with test management and automation tools. You will also follow additional training courses to acquire additional general knowledge (e.g. SQL, XML, Selenium) or specific knowledge (e.g. test automation) as part of a specific assignment. We try to organise our courses in such a way that they are optimally suited to your personal learning style.
