New York, NY – April 3, 2019 – A&E Network will premiere “The Employables,” a new docuseries following struggling job seekers with conditions such as autism or Tourette Syndrome as they search for meaningful employment. With the help of specialists, each job seeker uncovers their talents and works to show potential employers that their perceived disabilities can often provide unexpected benefits in the workplace. “The Employables” premieres Wednesday, May 8 at 10pm ET/PT.

“We are honored that A&E continues to be a home to stories that celebrate diversity and give a voice to those fearlessly pursuing their dreams” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E Network. “Like our Emmy-winning series ‘Born This Way,’ ‘The Employables’ is an important example of how embracing our differences can bring about positive and necessary change both in the workplace and in the lives of so many people.”

Each one-hour episode of “The Employables” follows two neuro-diverse job seekers as they work to overcome obstacles and find fulfilling employment that provides them with the skills to excel long term in their careers. Each participant works with an autism or Tourette Syndrome specialist to identify their strengths and determine how best to pursue their job search. Once they understand their talents, each job seeker sets out on interviews or trial runs with potential employers to find the perfect line of work. In addition to following the job seekers, the series also shines a light on the highs and lows that their friends and family have experienced as they support them in their goals. A&E will be providing information online and via social media about organizations that offer programs and resources for neuro-diverse individuals and their families.

“The Employables” is produced by Optomen Content, an all3media company, for A&E Network. Executive producers for Optomen Content are Joseph Eardly, Ricky Kelehar, Maria Silver and Edward Hambleton (Co-EP). It is based on an original format called “Employable Me” produced by Optomen and the BBC. Elaine Frontain Bryant, Shelly Tatro and Brad Holcman serve as executive producers for A&E Network.”

I have loved A&E for many years, and this is the BEST show that’s been on A&E. It is very to-the-MAX, the most heart-warming, sensitive thing that the Producers have done for these genius-level people. I cry when I see that they’ve struggled for sooooo long, and A&E have given them a change for perspective employers to see that they are hiring these people, who for so long, have just wanted a job. The show makes me cry that they have been given a chance. I hope there are many more seasons for this show. I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show is great. I wish that all employers could see this. My 30 year old daughter is still struggling to find a job she can be passionate about and can pay her bills. She needs to feel worthwhile, like we all do, and people make snap judgements without taking the time to know her. I’d like to find out how to access some of these resources or have her apply to be on the show. Is this possible? We live in CT . Thank you.

I think this show is the best documentary/show i’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Not only informative, it opens the mind to many things.
It made me think about the people in the show and how I could try to implement an employment service for such wonderfully special human beings!
Thank you A&E for the pleasure of a great show.

I’ve waited three weeks to watch The Employables on A&E and all I can find is tiny houses how depressing. If A&E is going advertise something that’s gonna be shown the least they can do is follow through . Again how depressing I have a son with autism and I thought this would help us . Thank you A&E for tiny houses that really helps a lot.

SO excited to watch this new show! I work for Choice Employment Services out of Decorah, Iowa as a “job coach” for adults with (dis)ABILITIES in their places of employment. It is, by far, the most rewarding, and fulfilling position i’ve ever had! The people I work with, as a Job Coach, are the most kind, genuine, caring and hard working group of individuals that i’ve had the pleasure of working with. This show will, hopefully, dissolve stereotypes and show potential employers the joy and benefits of hiring individuals with ABILITIES that are truly worth exploring!!
