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.
The NIIMBL approach: strengthening the U.S. biopharmaceutical workforce
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.
