The bio workforce training programs will be designed to reflect the needs of the industry, focusing on both company demands and future technology-based training courses.
The areas of operation include: ▲ bio (genome) data analysis and process development ▲ digital healthcare AI solution development ▲ advanced biopharmaceutical development.
Through this project, the agency plans to train a total of 500 bio specialists, including 140 job seekers (or prospective job seekers) and 360 incumbent workers, to help resolve manpower shortages in bio industries and respond to the growing demand for digital transformation.
Lee Jongseok, Director of the Bio Industry Headquarters at the agency, stated, "By collaborating with leading educational institutions, we will strengthen practical, field-oriented training and nurture bio talent to lead future technologies." He added, "We will enhance the connectivity between courses and further solidify our cooperation system with partner institutions to ensure the successful operation of the training programs."
