Workforce Strategy and Leadership

NIIMBL recognizes that the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry has an increasing demand for talent at all post-secondary levels to grow, expand, and meet the challenges introduced by emerging technologies and new therapeutic areas.

Through a variety of mechanisms, NIIMBL leverages the input of its member organizations, the expertise of its leadership, and its collaborations with industry, academic, and federal partners to inform, shape, and guide overall workforce strategy.
