IDEX Pump Technologies Invests in the Professional Development of Autistic Young Adults

After 120 volunteer hours and a grant from the IDEX Foundation, the team at IDEX Pump Technologies (IPTI) in Shannon, Ireland, successfully completed a new Life Skills Room at Dóchas, a local nonprofit dedicated to equipping autistic young adults with essential skills and knowledge for securing employment in their communities.

Trainings include cooking lessons, art classes, and resume writing tips in partnership with local businesses. The team also built a new Life Skills Room, which supports hands-on workplace readiness through the Dóchas Café, where participants practice punctuality, customer interaction, and teamwork in a real‑world setting that helps ease their transition into the workforce.
