NIIMBL strives to build national capacity to meet the talent acquisition, training, and workforce development needs of the biopharmaceutical manufacturing ecosystem by catalyzing collaboration, partnership, and utilization of education and training resources.
NIIMBL’s workforce development initiatives are informed and overseen by the NIIMBL Workforce Activities Committee (WAC), led by the NIIMBL Workforce Director and four appointed co-chairs. Composed of representatives from nearly every NIIMBL member organization, the WAC is uniquely positioned to help NIIMBL understand and address the evolving needs of the domestic biopharmaceutical sector.
NIIMBL is working to jumpstart a national conversation and begin driving systems change around novel talent pipeline approaches.
Industry members have a variety of ways to engage talent within NIIMBL’s robust community:
To encourage diversity in the biopharmaceutical industry, NIIMBL offers this hands-on, expenses-paid week-long program for college freshmen and sophomores to gain real-world insight into career possibilities in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
This entrepreneurship-based outreach curriculum is designed to get high school students thinking about biopharmaceutical manufacturing careers.
Opportunity for faculty or instructional staff at universities and community colleges to pursue a sabbatical either at an industry member company or at NIIMBL’s Headquarters.
NIIMBL’s growing portfolio of workforce projects allow us to pilot, expand, and build education, training, and talent development capacity nationally.
