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.

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.
