Many of us know colleagues, or been those professionals ourselves, facing a significant career shift, such as navigating a layoff or pivoting to biomanufacturing from a different field. To move forward, specialized training is often the differentiator that helps a candidate secure their next role.

During this vulnerable time of transition, while employer funding is typically unavailable, motivated professionals must weigh the risk of self-financing the specialized training needed for their desired next step.

BTEC is seeking support to establish the BTEC Bridge Scholarship for professionals who need financial assistance to gain access to our center’s biomanufacturing training during times of transition.
