  1. Biosciences Talent Required *Picture at FT Russ H. Read & Michael V. Ayers www.biotechworkforce.org W-S Tech Council Sept. 10, 2014

  2. Building the Future Home Grown Industry Needs: • Capital • Educated manpower • Efficient, effective business environment

  3. Talent Required*U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: www.bls.gov Scientists, chemists, biologists, pharmacologists, microbiologists, toxicologists, epidemiologists,clinicians, regulatory experts, Biomedical engineers, research associates,technicians,QA/QC experts, manufacturing & production teams, operators packaging, ancillary support etc., The demand for qualified Bioscience personnel is increasing in the Piedmont Triad

  4. Priorities Advocacy: • Represent, enable and provide leadership at the national and state levels for the biotechnology workforce with compatible organizations, educational and training institutions FT NCBC

  5. Priorities How: • Build national partnerships, research outcomes, chase and enact grants • Bring home to NC best practices in biotechworkforce training • Lead the US DOL TAA Consortium for Bioscience(c3bc) & the NSF ATE Biosciences Industrial Fellows Program(BIFP) *Represent BN at NSF- ATE, USDOL, NCBIO, BIO, NAM/MI, CSBA, CSBI, NBC2 and Bio-Link

  6. Best Practice Support Materials NCBW DOL Report CCP@BIO NSF / AACC White Paper NCBW Credential Model Digital Time Line & Repository www.biotechworkforce.org

  7. Grant Funding NCBW has 10 years experience with many grant types: community, regional, state and federal used to: • Build best practices for North Carolina in the biosciences training and education circle by being at the state and national table. • Increase training capacity for our college training sites. • Keep our employers supplied with an outstanding workforce Our externally captured funding total exceeds $ 20 M

  8. US DOL TAA Grant $ 14, 998, 474 Recipients : 12 colleges, 8 states Status: entering Year 3 & over 1350 are in training Hubs by color Lab Skills Medical Devices Biomanufacturing Learning

  9. National Approach • Bioscience Harmonized Skill Standards(Core, Med.Dev.,Labs, BMFG) • Industry Advisory Committee’s input on credentials & program development • Remove barriers to achieving training(flexible labs, simulations & gaming programs) • Increased capacity new programs credit & short non-credit programs for technical operators • Seamless articulations from 2 year schools to 4 year schools = 2+2 and back to 2 year from 4 year schools and beyond for hard skills training • Internships (includes a Capstone experience)

  10. . "BIFP has now given me the tools to share biosciences with my students. I can now answer, with confidence, the question ‘why do I need to know this?’. I am excited to share this experience and the new applications with both my students and colleagues." Bioscience Industrial FellowshipProject 2014-2015 Mission: The Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project de-mystifies the bioscience industry by developing and implementing an innovative professional development model that utilizes multi-institutional partnerships to enable high-impact instructors to further understand industry principles and prepare them to guide their students toward careers in today’s bioscience workforce. Partners : Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) at North Carolina Central University, the BioNetwork’s Pharmaceutical and Analytical Training Lab and Capstone Center, The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology at UNCG, the David H. Murdock Research Institute (DHMRI), Commercialization at Wake Forest Innovation, Biogen Idec, Targacept, Patheon (formerly, Banner Pharma), TransTech Pharma, and Tengion. NSF-ATE DUE Grant # 1304010
