Innovative and New Programs in Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
- 1. Partnerships Sonia Wallman Executive Director, NBC2 January 13, 2012 Bio-Link Conference
- 2. Partnerships Community colleges traditionally have been tasked to support local industry by providing apt education and training for their industries. Key to this role are academia-industry partnerships and grants that support the development of such strategic alliances (NSF ATE and DOL ETA grants, for instance). Research questions that arise to understand these relationships are: What are the characteristics of effective partnerships and collaborations? How are they developed and how are they sustained?
- 3. NBC2 Partnerships Case Study 12 partners were interviewed by Dr. Joanna Kile, their conclusions were: Have a product and stay focused on delivering it. Partnerships exist in the relationship: the more points of connection the stronger the relationship Build trust by committing and then following through Recognize that a successful partnership is a long-term commitment Identify champions within the group Solicit the opinion of all partners Be prepared to give more than to receive Share your success stories Forget what you have done in the past; find out what you need in order to be in business five years from now.

- 48. First Things First College Performs a Gap Analysis What is missing Type of training Research (biomedical, environmental, biofuels) Manufacturing (drugs, medical devices) Will the college support the program?

- 49. Make sure the program aligns with industry needs You cant do this on your own What state and local organizations track biotechnology Focus the program Do not dilute student learning by being to broad based Corporate Partners Who you know and who they know The primary way of getting in the door This opens the door to internships Incumbent worker training Short Courses Expanding your student base State and local biotechnology initiative grants

- 64. Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development -Cities and Counties- Often na誰ve understanding of the playing field by the players: understanding of technologysome still bemoaning the loss of the buggy-whip industry Layers of complexityespecially in megacities Pre-existing, high-walled political bailiwicks Historical partnering among the players and segmentation difficult to change: breaking up the partydivorces are difficult Time-lines for completion of projects: triage vs. long-term solutions Project Product: sustainability vs. triage Players lack of understanding of the necessary resources
- 65. Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development -Cities and Counties- Unreasonable expectations of the WF development arena regarding companies CCs: administrators, role of non-academic training operations, multiple CCs aiming for the same targets, unrealistic expectations of companies, survey impacts, moving off the molecular biology raison detre dime T-ORG BODs: regional, state, and national 2-year -> 4-year institutional programs: regionally-approved, industry validated layered, stackable certificates Research universities: often a considerable problem: understanding the critical role of CCs, intrusion into CC space, sparse laboratory training in some universities A battle of willsand entrenched public service organizations very adept at survival

- 76. Points of Attack of T-ORGs in WF Development Sector Intermediary Role -Cities and Counties- Facilitating an increased understanding of the playing field Removing layers of complexityespecially in megacities Circumventing or removing high-walled political bailiwicks Expanding partnering among the technologically-na誰ve players Encouraging departure from total reliance on triage approaches Demanding sustainability Educating the players on the true costs of training in the 21 st century Embracing CC administrators and engaging them in solutions Catalyzing applied research and manufacturing programs: faculty training Stimulation of specialized training facilities, especially in the megacities Education of T-ORG boards of directors Creating regionally-approved, industry validated layered, stackable certificates Constant education of the research universities Outreach to federal agencies Triage of the DOL
- 77. Problems Facing T-ORGs -Operating In the Sphere of the DOL, one persons experiences- HoorayT-ORGs are recognized as Sector Intermediaries, but...there are DOL focal problems Little DOL concept of need for sustainability Little DOL concept of training costs Entry-level employee predominant focus Reorientation of Congressional mandates Spread the Geld political mentality Reviewers: Invaders from Planet X Underdeveloped appreciation of true vs. interpolated WF needs H1B Training Skills RFP case in point
- 79. H1Bs in the Biotechnology Industry 2000-2007 6-10% of the biotech WF = 18,000 80% passed through US higher education Degrees: in red, composition of the US biotech WF 40% PhD (19%) 35% MS (17%) 20% BS (50%) 5% MD 0% AA/AS/vocEd (14%) 85% acquired permanent residency ($150M) And the role of the DOL is exactly what in addressing this dependency upon foreign nationals?
