Industry Need
To date, no program has combined multiple interventions to address multiple barriers simultaneously, ultimately creating an end-to-end ecosystem of support to enable neurodivergent employees to succeed in the workplace [38]. In addition, there are very few studies that specifically evaluate the effectiveness of supports in the workplace [39], so there is a lack of evidence-based interventions that specifically target corporate environments. The NeuroPIPES program seeks to address these issues by assessing current employer training gaps and identifying potential barriers to neurodivergent success.
Solution
The positive impacts of the NeuroPIPES program are three-fold: 1.) creating a novel talent pipeline to alleviate workforce bottlenecks for biomanufacturing, 2.) building defined, end-to-end pathways to gainful employment for a historically under- and unemployed population, and 3.) increasing neurodiversity within the biomanufacturing industry and increasing neurodiverse representation in the US workforce as a whole.
