Systems Approach
 Summer enrichment programs for middle and high school students
 Articulations from high school to 2 year colleges
 Community College Regional Partnerships 1+1
 Internships for all levels (H.S., college/4 year and post. grad.)
 US DOL approved Biotechnology Apprenticeships/Internships
 Seamless articulations from 2 year schools to 4 year schools 2+2
 Reverse articulations (degreed students come to 2yr colleges for hard skills
training)
 Short (120 hours) non-credit programs for technical operators
 Industry Advisory Committee’s input on credentials & program development
 Distance learning hybrids-More Simulations & Gaming

Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project 2014-2015
Vision:
To create a nationally recognized project that can be replicated at other
community colleges across the nation.
Mission:
The Bioscience Industrial Fellowship Project will de-mystify the bioscience industry
by developing and implementing an innovative professional development model
that utilizes multi-institutional partnerships to enable high-impact instructors to
further understand industry principles and prepare them to guide their students
toward careers in today’s bioscience workforce.
