NCCCS BioNetwork - Specialized Training for Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences

NCCCS BioNetwork

NCCCS BioNetwork is a statewide initiative that connects community colleges across North Carolina, providing specialized training, curricula and equipment, to develop a world-class workforce for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. All Community Colleges serving the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector are part of BioNetwork.

Jobs

Industry recruiters for biomanufacturing jobs prefer people with work experience. Because pharmaceutical and biomanufacturing facilities are FDA compliant, new hires must have received biotech training. BioNetwork Community Colleges provide this education and training for people seeking to transition into a well-paid biotech job. Short courses like BioWork are designed to help people make the transition into this industry.

Finding Work

BioNetwork holds job fairs, putting its students directly in touch with industry recruiters. Estimates by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center show that 2000 biotech jobs a year are being created for people with community college training.

Economic Catalyst

A well-trained workforce is one of the most important considerations when companies decide where they will locate a manufacturing facility. North Carolina's workforce has excellent credentials, and BioNetwork's extensive cutting-edge, hands-on, workforce education and training makes the state extremely attractive as a location for new facilities. It is no surprise that many of the world's largest biomanufacturing facilities are already located in North Carolina. NCCCS BioNetwork intends to play its role in growing this base, making North Carolina number one in the USA for biomanufacturing.
