What can I do to help my Autistic brother find a job?

At a young age, my brother was diagnosed with PDD/NOS which falls under the spectrum of autism. He has had a job at a golf course doing maintenance/landscaping, but it is seasonal. He really doesn't have the best social skills and can get overwhelmed if there's a lot of things going on at once, so you can imagine limited his options are.
