Biotech Skills Workforce Information

C-BEF will be the clearinghouse for the latest information on the skill sets needed for the bioscience workforce. This information is critical to ensure that community colleges and research institutions have the most up to date information for curriculum development.

“Human capital—the quality of our work force—is a particularly important factor in our competitiveness. Our public school system comprises the foundation of this asset. But as it exists today, that system compares, in the aggregate, abysmally with those of other developed—and even developing—nations . . . particularly in the fields which underpin most innovation: science, mathematics and technology.” -- Norman Augustine, former CEO, Lockheed Martin Corporation, 2006
