8. Goal 1: Establish Sustainable Learning Communities around Community College Hubs Each Hub is developing a Learning Community for collaboration on the development of the local biomanufacturing education and training infrastructure and of education and training materials for one or more of ten biomanufacturing jobs; learning communities meet regularly at Hub locations.

9. Goal 2: Develop Biomanufacturing Curricula and Instructional Materials Hub Action Plans at www.biomanufacturing.org/advisory detail the process for developing instructional materials (both didactic and hands-on materials) and support resources for targeted biomanufacturing jobs.

10. Goal 3: Provide Professional Development Opportunities in Biomanufacturing for Faculty NBC2 resources are used to send faculty to industry or to various courses, workshops and conferences for Subject Matter Expert (SME) training. One example of such a conference is the NSF/DOL sponsored BIOMAN 2006 conference, July 24th to 28th, 2006 at NHCTC in Portsmouth, NH.

22. Partners for Sustainability(NBC2 partners with DOL) Hub Directors are working with US and local Department of Labor entities to regionalize the Biomanufacturing Apprenticeship program The program may be attractive for companies, particularly those under going expansion or constructing new biomanufacturing facilities Allows companies to slowly (and cheaply) build a competent workforce Allows students early exposure to a career in Biomanufacturing Some companies have referred to the Apprenticeship program as a long-term internship One of the fall-outs of this partnership may be a presentation at the annual DOL conference, Workforce Innovations, July 11-13, 2006 in Anaheim, CAOne of the fall-outs of this partnership may be a presentation at the annual DOL conference, Workforce Innovations, July 11-13, 2006 in Anaheim, CA

23. Enhancement of www.biomanufacturing.orgto August 31,2007 Added section on Northeast Biomanufacturing Companies including articles re: expansion, direct advertising of technician jobs and links to company job boards. Added section to compliment the one above on Northeast Biomanufacturing Programs at Community Colleges and Technical High Schools Added section on the DOL Registered Biomanufacturing Apprenticeship Must add section on Northeast Articulation Agreements (between NE Community Colleges and Four Year Colleges/Universitites and High Schools). More job videos have been produced and will be added to the Targeted Jobs section of the website. Will add section on Membership for access to the Global Biomanufacturing Curriculum. First Biomanufacturing instructional materials on-line after BIOMAN 2006 in July. Instructional materials are part of the Global Biomanufacturing Curriculum (www.biomanufacturing.org/gbc) Hub Directors continue to make entries about their locales in Web Log of Events.
