A draft model of the competencies needed for success in the Biotechnology Industry has been posted for your consideration, with a new thread opened in the Forum Section of the Bioscienceregions workspace to provide feedback. The draft model was developed by ETA from collecting and analyzing skill standards, occupational information and curricula related to biotechnology careers.
This model has been drafted as part of a larger ETA initiative to identify the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed by workers in High Growth industries. After validation by industry experts, the model will serve as a resource to inform discussions around workforce development efforts by providing a common language for economic developers, employers, educators, and workforce professionals.
We would like to open a discussion around the development and validation of such a model and its value for informing workforce development efforts. We welcome your comments which can be posted in a discussion thread. In addition, we plan to continue discuss this model during the next WIRED BIG call scheduled for Friday, June 27 at 3pm EDT (Tel: 866-657-4143; #2706532), as well as during the Workforce Innovations 2008 pre-conference meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 15, at 11am CDT, at the New Orleans Hilton Riverside, Grand Salon, Room 3.
