Addressing Future Lifelong Learning Issues in Biotechnology Sector

To meet the competitive challenges faced by the European biotechnology industry, the project will both identify and outline common core competencies for industry employees with the overall aim of the project being to increase accessibility to up-to-date learning opportunities. The project partnership comprises representatives from business, academia and industry in an effort to develop and promote the core skills of employees in the biotechnology sector. Project partners will initially investigate the current state of the biotechnology industry in their respective countries and will identify skills gaps in the industry, this exercise will involve a series of study visits across the partner countries. Based upon the information gathered, partners will design learning pathways to meet the identified skills gaps. A flexible curriculum will be designed around short and long-term learning modules and will further comprise Case Study examples. The learning modules will undergo a pilot phase in the partner countries, with feedback informing their final development. The final learning modules will be made available in both electronic and traditional printed format. Project outputs will include a flexible, modular based curriculum for the biotechnology industry, new training methods for delivery of the training programme, a training guide for trainers and a CD-Rom and handbook containing the developed modular curriculum. Meetings with stakeholders from the biotechnology industry will take place throughout the duration of the project to inform upon project progress and will to assist in the dissemination of the end project results.
