Who will benefit from this course:

The course is aimed at individuals outside the biomanufacturing field considering a career transition into this exciting and rapidly expanding field. Additionally, individuals already working in biomanufacturing in roles peripheral to production will benefit from the big picture overview of the processes they support. Participants will be able to put into context the vocabulary they hear coming from their clients, scientists, engineers, and production staff.

Example roles include, but are not limited to: sales & marketing staff, industry vendors/suppliers, recruiters, environmental health and safety specialists, operations support personnel, supply chain personnel, students, maintenance personnel (mfg. support), financial officers, project managers, and career changers.
