As the biotechnology industry continues to move into manufacturing,
the need for well-educated, trained technicians is growing. In response
to this need, Education Development Center, Inc., working with biotechnology
companies, community colleges, and others, has created The Biomanufacturing
Skill Standards, which define what work these technicians do in
a range of occupations and what knowledge, skills, and behaviors they
need
to
succeed in these jobs.
Sections of the Benchmarks
- Introduction: Offers information about the purposes and development of the benchmarks.
- The Skill Standards: Contains the skill standards for each of the 10 occupations, in chart form. Also includes information about individual and company participants in the workshops.
- Job Analysis Validation Surveys: Contains surveys for each of the 10 occupations, sent out to validate the standards from the workshops, and a list of companies that participated in the survey.
- Results of the Validation Study: Contains demographic information about the survey respondents and companies.Also includes data about the importance and training/experience needed for every competency in each of the occupation surveys.
