Georgia Bio initiated an education and workforce development program in January of 2007 to ensure the regional workforce has the skills, training and knowledge to meet its current and future needs.
Our vision is that “Georgia’s pipeline of knowledge workers is internationally acclaimed as a key competitive advantage to the regional life science industry.”
Our strategies include:
-
Developing resources that enhance life science teaching, learning and career awareness and experiences for Georgia’s emerging workforce;
-
Strengthening educational pathways focused on critical occupations noted as difficult to attract, train and retain by regional employers;
-
Sharing training and human resource needs to effectively build critical mass among the state’s employers;
-
Facilitating communication and interaction between regional educators and employers.
