New Websites

North Carolina’s life science community is debuting two new websites – a new portal for the State’s NCBioImpact workforce training partnership, and a new site hosted by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center to emphasize the job-creating dimension of North Carolina’s life sciences sector.

The workforce training partnership NCBioImpact will unveil a new Internet presence in time for BIO 2010. The website will serve as a resource for worker training and related information for visitors to the North Carolina Pavilion at the BIO 2010 International Convention. “One of the goals of the training initiative is to be more visible to industry, current and future employees and government officials,” said Bruce Kaylos, who manages NCBIO Biotech Manufacturers Forum. “The NCBioImpact will start by offering top-level information on North Carolina’s biomanufacturing and related work force training capabilities. Later, the site will provide students, employees and employers tools to get the most out of our training assets.”

NCBioImpact includes the North Carolina Community College System BioNetwork program, the North Carolina State University Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center, and the North Carolina Central University Biomanufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise.

Jobsfornc.com is a new website of the North Carolina Biotechnology Center featuring five video segments that highlight personal stories of a dozen people across the state. The site is designed to grow in the coming months, according to Robin Deacle, Senior Director of Corporate Communications at the Biotechnology Center. "We invite people whose lives have been improved by biotechnology - a summer training program, a better job or a life-saving medicine - to add their stories to the collection," Deacle said. "Biotechnology has made a huge impact on North Carolinians and together we can get the word out."
