  1. Train the Work Force Kathleen Kennedy, Alan Mabe, Hal Price, Susan Seymour June 27, 2006

  2. Train the Workforce: Status prior to 2003 • Biomanufacturing industry in NC was poised for major growth, but couldn’t find enough qualified employees. • Community colleges were critically under funded. • Universities needed more industrially-targeted curricula, as well as facilities. • The state responded with Golden LEAF funding. • The Biomanufacturing and Pharmaceutical Training Consortium was launched. N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  3. Strategy Summary Strategies 33-42 • Ensure successful implementation of the Biomanufacturing and Pharmaceutical Training Consortium (BPTC) • Support community colleges • Encourage the creation of innovative biotechnology education and training programs N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  4. Biomanufacturing and Pharmaceutical Training Consortium (BPTC)

  5. Collaborators • NC State University • NC Central University • North Carolina Community College System • Industry (NCBIO) • Golden LEAF • North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBC) N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  6. Goals • Develop a world class work force with the ability to adapt to new technologies. • Provide hands-on training and education in a simulated cGMP environment. • Offer learners flexible access to an integrated education system. • Train and educate both students and incumbent employees. N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  7. Funding • Golden LEAF: $63 M • Industry: >$10 M (in-kind) • Recurring State Funds: $12-13 M/yr at current level for operating costs N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  8. North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork Susan Seymour, Directorseymours@ncbionetwork.org

  9. BioNetwork Components • Six Centers providing specialized expertise in different fields to support colleges statewide • Nation’s only Mobile Laboratory delivering biotechnology training to company sites • 17 AAS degree programs related to biotechnology N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  10. BioNetwork Achievements 2003-2005 • $9 M awarded in 100 Grants impact 90 NC counties • 200 community college science faculty involved • Over 5,700 students and incumbent workers trained • Doubled enrollment in BioWork course (559) • Tripled enrollment in biotechnology-related AAS and Certificate programs (874) • 38 industrially targeted courses developed or revamped N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  11. North CarolinaStateUniversity Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC)

  12. Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC) • GMP-like pilot-scale manufacturing facility • 81,000 gsf • Bioreactors and downstream processing equipment • Aseptic manufacturing facilities • Community College Capstone Center • Open to students from programs statewide • Modular course development underway: pilots running in Fall 2006 N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  13. North CarolinaCentralUniversity Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE)

  14. Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) Construction • 52,000 gsf laboratory, classroom, and office building • $2 M in laboratory equipment already acquired Degree programs • Current: Concentration in Biopharmaceutical Science w/in BS Biology/Chemistry • Future: BS and graduate degree programs • Six new faculty developing curriculum in fields supporting new product and process development N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  15. UNC-System: Other Workforce Education Activities Statewide • New undergraduate degree programs include: • Biotechnology (UNC-P, FSU, WSSU) • Nutritional Science (NCSU) • Professional Science Master’s in Microbial Biotechnology (NCSU) • …And more on the way • BS in biological sciences—degrees conferred: • FY ’02-’03 1422 • FY ’04-’05 1598 N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R

  16. Outcome: • International recognition of North Carolina’s leadership in workforce development • Over 1,000 new jobs created in pharmaceutical and bioprocess manufacturing over the last two years Merck ▪ GlaxoSmithKline ▪ Steifel Corneal Science ▪ Biolex ▪ Wyeth Vaccines N O R T H C A R O L I N A B I O T E C H N O L O G Y C E N T E R
