Google.org (not to be confused with Google.com) is partnering with GoodWill Industries to help people with digital TECH. career development programs. Only a handful of GoodWill Ind. chapters in the U.S. have instituted programs.

Anybody on WrongPlanet considering, or are undertaking Google.org/GoodWill Ind. programs?

No, I am already getting help through Vocational Rehab services which helps people with disabilities (including people on the spectrum) find proper employment.

With 'Google.org' and online education providers Udacity.com, and Coursera.com involved, TECH./digital training programs represent major improvements over traditional employment programs; that is opportunities in fulfilling (in demand) careers.

Here is a link to the GoodWill chapters offering TECH. training programs: http://www.goodwill.org/dca/
