A new effort launched last month between Cartoon Network Studios and Exceptional Minds, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit, will pair people on the spectrum with mentors from the studio.

The studio, which produces content for Cartoon Network, said it will team up with Exceptional Minds to train individuals with autism to work in animation, post-production and visual effects.

More than 20 second- and third-year students at Exceptional Minds will be assigned mentors to learn storyboarding, prop design and more over the course of three months, Cartoon Network Studios said.
