Industry has disconnected training resources that often overlap resulting in inefficiencies and unreliable outcomes for industry.
BioTnet (Biomanufacturing Training Network) is a training network made up of private and public Massachusetts-based teaching institutes that offer training resources at all post-secondary education levels. The central idea is shared biomanufacturing workforce development curricula that has direct industry input. This network is intended to act as a scale-down model which can be franchised to different states and/or regions overseen by NIIMBL in a hub-and-spoke type model. In particular, this project addressed the problems of disconnected training resources as well as curriculum development to address training resource gaps.
OUTPUTS
Creation of a cooperative training network, overseen by an industry lead committee, which will deliver short courses that reflect industry needs
