North Carolina’s Successful Bioscience Workforce and
Economic Development Initiatives:NC BioImpact and NCCCS BioNetwork
North Carolina to Northern Ireland
H. Martin LancasterNovember, 2010
Initiative Background
Workforce Development: Essential Part of NC’s Economic Development Strategies
NC’s Economic Development Approach Always Promoted Ability to Generate a Knowledgeable, Skilled, Productive Workforce
Economic and Workforce Development Over Time Merged into One Collaborative and Strategic Message that Capitalized on the Strengths of Both by Offering:
Broader Portfolio of Incentives More Effective and Efficient Alignment of Education
and Training to Support Industry Competitiveness
Initiative Background
NC Community College Critical Role State Supported Customized Training for New and
Expanding Industry Operated by NC Community Colleges Presented as a Significant NC Industrial Recruitment Incentive for Over Fifty Years for Inward Investment and Expansions of Existing Companies
Key NCCCS Representatives Participated in Economic Recruitment Activities with NC Department of Commerce
International Industry Recruitment Trips Workforce Presentations During Corporate Site Visits to North
Carolina International Trade Shows
1958 Research Triangle Park 1984 Nation’s First Government Sponsored
Biotechnology Center 9 Research Universities with 20+ Years of
Biotechnology Research 3rd largest CC System in US, Nationally
Recognized for Customized Training Well Established Biotechnology Cluster by Early
2000- NC Ranked in Top 5 States in US for: Contract Research Organizations BioAgriculture Research & Development Bioprocess Manufacturing Pharmaceutical Products
NC Built A Strong Foundation for Biotechnology
Biotechnology Opportunities by 2002: Industry Evolving from R&D to
Product Manufacturing More than 370 Biotechnology Drugs and
Vaccines in Clinical Trials in the US Over 1,000 Additional Biopharmaceutical
Drugs in Worldwide Pipeline Existing Manufacturing Sites Saturated North Carolina Positioning to Compete as
Prime Location for New Production Facilities, Investment and 21st Century Knowledge-Based Jobs
NC Bioscience Industry Needs Triggered Initiative Selection
Specific (Demand-Driven) Needs– New Product Lines/Processes– Additional Well-trained Workers– Upgraded Incumbent-worker Training
NC Partnership/Leadership Organizations Responded to Support Industry Growth– Biotechnology and Life Science Industry– NC Community College System and CCs – UNC System and Universities (NCSU & NCCU)– NC Department of Commerce – NC Biotechnology Center– Golden LEAF– NC Governor and NC Legislature
Bioscience Industry Growth
Needs for Expansion/Investment Recruitment of New Companies Expansion of Existing Companies Ongoing NC Company Workforce Needs
Response Strategy Comprehensive, Statewide, Collaborative,
Demand-Driven, Seamless Education Bioscience Workforce Development Initiative
2003 NC Biotechnology Research Study and the NCCCS Strategic Plan
Provided a Clear Picture of the Industry Composition, Location and Plans for Expansion
Indicated Workforce Needs at the Various Levels of Education/Training
Proposed Strategies for Workforce Development to Position the state to Become the Location of Choice for Business Development and Innovation
Provided Basis for Workforce Development Resource Requests
The Need NC BioImpact in 2003 Pipeline of Biotech Graduates Insufficient
for Industry Needs Access to Most Biotech Programs in
Research Triangle and Triad Areas Community Colleges Needed Equipment
Funding for Hands-on Worker Training Workers Needed Soft Skills and GMP
Training Public Unaware of Biotech Training and
Employment
Critical Requirements forEducation and Training
Scientist and Engineers Research /Development For Industry Operations and Innovation
Production Workers 67% Require less than a Baccalaureate Degree and Appropriately
Trained at the Community College Level
New Entrants to the Workforce
Upgraded Skills Incumbent and Workers Made Redundant
Essential Concepts of the Model
Collaboration with Industry, Education, and Government
Seamless Education and Training
Workforce Development as an Economic Development Catalyst
Recruitment, Retention, and Growth of Biotechnology Business Across NC
NC Implementation and Timeline Selection of Targeted Sector/Cluster
Extremely Important
Implementation Did Not Happen Overnight
Divided into Three Phases Study and Planning (6 Months to 1 Year) Startup (24 Months) Enhancement and Scale up (Ongoing)
NC BioImpact Model
Community Colleges – BioNetwork -Statewide Biotechnology Initiative Networking local Community Colleges
NC State University – BTEC -Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center- Pilot Plant
NC Central University – BRITE -Biomanufacturing Research Institute & Technology Enterprise
Biotechnology Career Pathways, STEM
K-12 Teacher Training, Career Fairs, Supported K-12 Curriculum Development
Community Colleges
Articulation Agreements Between Community colleges 1+1 Universities and Community Colleges 2+2
University Undergraduate/Graduate Programs
NC BioImpact Seamless Education
Additional Model Components
Industry Advisory Boards and Panels Statewide Centers Curriculum Programs Grant Award Review
Economic and Workforce Development Partnerships NCBC, CED, ISPE, BIO, Universities, K12,
NC Department of Commerce, State, Regional and Local Economic Developers
New and Expanding Company Recruitment
Initiative Results
Examples of CompaniesThat Selected NC
– GlaxoSmithKline - $92 Million Expansion, 200 jobs
– Merck & Co. - $300 Million Plant, 200 Jobs
– Stiefel Research Institute - $50 million, 200 Jobs
– Talecris - $127 Million Expansion, 150 Jobs
– Novo Nordisk - $100 Million Expansion 80 Jobs
– Novartis - $600 Million Plant , 400 new Jobs
Snapshot of NC Bioscience Industry Before and
After BioImpact & BioNetwork Initiatives
2003– 227 Bioscience Companies in NC
– Industry Employed 34,500
2009
– 523 Bioscience Companies in NC
– Industry Employed over 56,000
Identification of the Potential Growth Cluster, Workforce Study and the NCCCS Strategic Plan critical to the Design, Development and Implementation of NC’s Successful Biotechnology and Life Science Workforce Initiatives
NCCCS BioNetwork Planned as the Foundation of NC’s Long-term Strategy to Grow Biotechnology and Life Science Business and Jobs Across the State
The Seamless Education Approach Essential
Industry Input and Leadership Critical
Reflections and Lessons Learned
Educational Partners Important for Economic Recruitment
Community Colleges Critical Economic Development Catalyst Because Training of Less Mobile Workforce
NCCCS Workforce Development Experience and Strong Industry Relationships Benefit to Initiative
Highly-committed Partners and Effective Leadership Critical to Initiative Success and Ongoing Initiative Funding
Reflections and Lessons Learned
Initiative Helps Attract, Expand, and Retain NC Biotechnology Business
Reacts Swiftly to Local Labor Market Demands by Deploying Expertise, Curricula, and Equipment
Provide NC Companies with a Global Advantage
Lessons Learned Helped Further NC Aerospace Industry Workforce Strategies
