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.
