BIOPRO

About

Designed to meet the needs of Oregon’s growing bioscience industry and shaped by input from our Advisory Committee, our BioPro program offers a robust catalog of industry-specific classes taught by industry experts. With over 3,400 bioscience professionals benefiting since its inception, BioPro raises the knowledge and efficiency of our local and regional bioscience workforce, boosting industry competitiveness. A more highly-skilled bioscience workforce makes a positive impact on company operations and competitiveness. While enriching the Oregon workforce in general, BioPro Workforce Training also improves employee recruitment, strengthens managerial capacity, grows economic development capacity, increases production output and grows wages. Both Oregon Bio member and non-member companies are eligible to participate in the training.

Classes

Many classes are four hours in length, enabling employees to work a half day. Multiple-day classes are scheduled one week apart so that the impact of an employee's absence from work is minimized. Classes result in an Oregon Bio certification. The training curriculum is based on standardized, industry-accepted curriculum and FDA requirements related to the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. The curriculum and class logistics are also evaluated by students, employers, and steering committee members to ensure continuous improvement in each offering as needed.
