Partnerships

Community colleges traditionally have been tasked to
support local industry by providing apt education and
training for their industries.
Key to this role are academia-industry partnerships and
grants that support the development of such strategic
alliances (NSF ATE and DOL ETA grants, for instance).
Research questions that arise to understand these
relationships are:
What are the characteristics of effective partnerships and
collaborations?
How are they developed and how are they sustained?
NBC2 Partnerships Case Study
          12 partners were interviewed by Dr. Joanna Kile,
                        their conclusions were:
         Have a product and stay focused on delivering it.
Partnerships exist in the relationship: the more points of connection
                     the stronger the relationship
       Build trust by committing and then following through
Recognize that a successful partnership is a long-term commitment
                Identify champions within the group
                  Solicit the opinion of all partners
             Be prepared to give more than to receive
                      Share your success stories
 Forget what you have done in the past; find out what you need in
            order to be in business five years from now.

STARTING A BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRAM

        WHERE DO I START?
First Things First
• College Performs a Gap Analysis – What is missing
  Type of training
     Research (biomedical, environmental, biofuels)
     Manufacturing (drugs, medical devices)
      Will the college support the program?
                    Financially
                    Faculty Support
• Primary Purpose of the Program
  Get students job after completing the program?
  Prepare them to transfer to a university to obtain a B.S.
• Make sure the program aligns with industry needs
  You can’t do this on your own
  What state and local organizations track biotechnology
• Focus the program – Do not dilute student learning
  by being to broad based

• Corporate Partners – Who you know and who they know
  The primary way of getting in the door
  This opens the door to internships

• Incumbent worker training – Short Courses
  Expanding your student base
  State and local biotechnology initiative grants
The most surprising aspect of
      starting the Biotechnology &
          Compliance program

The willingness of companies to work with me on every
aspect of the program and to make commitments of time
and resources to enable the program to produce competent
students ready to enter the workforce.

Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development
                 -Cities and Counties-

• Often naïve understanding of the playing field by the players:
  understanding of technology…some still bemoaning the loss
  of the buggy-whip industry
• Layers of complexity…especially in megacities
• Pre-existing, high-walled political bailiwicks
• Historical partnering among the players and segmentation
  difficult to change: breaking up the “party”…divorces are
  difficult
• Time-lines for completion of projects: triage vs. long-term
  solutions
• “Project Product”: sustainability vs. triage
• Players lack of understanding of the necessary resources
Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development
                 -Cities and Counties-
• Unreasonable expectations of the WF development arena
  regarding companies
• CC’s: administrators, role of non-academic training
  operations, multiple CC’s aiming for the same targets,
  unrealistic expectations of companies, survey impacts, moving
  off the “molecular biology” raison d’etre dime
• T-ORG BOD’s: regional, state, and national
• 2-year -> 4-year institutional programs: regionally-approved,
  industry validated layered, stackable certificates
• Research universities: often a considerable problem:
  understanding the critical role of CC’s, intrusion into CC space,
  sparse laboratory training in some universities
• A battle of wills…and entrenched public service organizations
  very adept at survival

Points of Attack of T-ORGs in WF Development
                “Sector Intermediary Role”
                               -Cities and Counties-

• Facilitating an increased understanding of the playing field
• Removing layers of complexity…especially in megacities
• Circumventing or removing high-walled political bailiwicks
• Expanding partnering among the technologically-naïve players
• Encouraging departure from total reliance on triage approaches
• Demanding sustainability
• Educating the players on the true costs of training in the 21 st century
• Embracing CC administrators and engaging them in solutions
• Catalyzing applied research and manufacturing programs: faculty training
• Stimulation of specialized training facilities, especially in the megacities
• Education of T-ORG boards of directors
• Creating regionally-approved, industry validated layered, stackable
  certificates
• Constant education of the research universities
• Outreach to federal agencies
• Triage of the DOL
Problems Facing T-ORGs
    -Operating In the Sphere of the DOL, one person’s experiences-


•   Hooray…T-ORGs are recognized as
    Sector Intermediaries, but...there are
    DOL focal problems
     – Little DOL concept of need for
       sustainability
     – Little DOL concept of training costs
     – Entry-level employee predominant
       focus
     – Reorientation of Congressional
       mandates
     – “Spread the Geld” political mentality
     – Reviewers: Invaders from Planet X
•   Underdeveloped appreciation of true
    vs. interpolated WF needs
     – H1B Training Skills RFP case in point
Innovative and New Programs in Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing
H1B’s in the Biotechnology Industry
                    2000-2007
• 6-10% of the biotech WF = 18,000
• 80% passed through US higher education
• Degrees: in red, composition of the US biotech WF
   –   40% PhD           (19%)
   –   35% MS            (17%)
   –   20% BS            (50%)
   –   5% MD
   –   0% AA/AS/vocEd    (14%)
• 85% acquired permanent residency ($150M)
• And the role of the DOL is exactly what in addressing this
  dependency upon foreign nationals?
What is/was the DOC Thinking? Is it really
making the H1B problem go away…or is there
        another agenda at work?….
Trade Organizations to the Rescue!

Innovative and New Programs in Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing

  • 1. Partnerships Sonia Wallman Executive Director, NBC2 January 13, 2012 – Bio-Link Conference
  • 2. Partnerships Community colleges traditionally have been tasked to support local industry by providing apt education and training for their industries. Key to this role are academia-industry partnerships and grants that support the development of such strategic alliances (NSF ATE and DOL ETA grants, for instance). Research questions that arise to understand these relationships are: What are the characteristics of effective partnerships and collaborations? How are they developed and how are they sustained?
  • 3. NBC2 Partnerships Case Study 12 partners were interviewed by Dr. Joanna Kile, their conclusions were: Have a product and stay focused on delivering it. Partnerships exist in the relationship: the more points of connection the stronger the relationship Build trust by committing and then following through Recognize that a successful partnership is a long-term commitment Identify champions within the group Solicit the opinion of all partners Be prepared to give more than to receive Share your success stories Forget what you have done in the past; find out what you need in order to be in business five years from now.
  • 4. NBC2 Biomanufacturing Products  GBC Laboratory Manual generic and customized  Introduction to Biomanufacturing textbook  Biofuels Production and Analysis textbook and lab manual  Protein is Cash Teachers Workshop  BIOMAN Annual Conference  Adult 360hr/12wk Biomanufacturing Certificate  Hybrid post-baccalaureate 120hr/15wk BIOMAN Certificate  Future = modular curriculum to suit local biomanufacturing needs; provision of supplies for teaching the modules
  • 6. Panelists Introduction  Danny Kainer from Lonestar Community College in Houston, TX  Bruce Van Dyke from Quincy College in Quincy, MA  Steve Dahms from SoCalBio in Los Angeles/Orange Counties, CA
  • 7.

  • 38. Water Remediation Project
  • 39. Water Remediation Project
  • 45. Nanotechnology & Water Remediation? “Nano Rust” (http://www.gizmag.com/go/6448/)
  • 46. Thanks for your attention!
  • 47. STARTING A BIOTECHNOLOGY PROGRAM WHERE DO I START?
  • 48. First Things First • College Performs a Gap Analysis – What is missing Type of training Research (biomedical, environmental, biofuels) Manufacturing (drugs, medical devices) Will the college support the program?

  • 64. Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development -Cities and Counties- • Often naïve understanding of the playing field by the players: understanding of technology…some still bemoaning the loss of the buggy-whip industry • Layers of complexity…especially in megacities • Pre-existing, high-walled political bailiwicks • Historical partnering among the players and segmentation difficult to change: breaking up the “party”…divorces are difficult • Time-lines for completion of projects: triage vs. long-term solutions • “Project Product”: sustainability vs. triage • Players lack of understanding of the necessary resources
  • 65. Problems Facing T-ORGs in WF Development -Cities and Counties- • Unreasonable expectations of the WF development arena regarding companies • CC’s: administrators, role of non-academic training operations, multiple CC’s aiming for the same targets, unrealistic expectations of companies, survey impacts, moving off the “molecular biology” raison d’etre dime • T-ORG BOD’s: regional, state, and national • 2-year -> 4-year institutional programs: regionally-approved, industry validated layered, stackable certificates • Research universities: often a considerable problem: understanding the critical role of CC’s, intrusion into CC space, sparse laboratory training in some universities • A battle of wills…and entrenched public service organizations very adept at survival

  • 76. Points of Attack of T-ORGs in WF Development “Sector Intermediary Role” -Cities and Counties- • Facilitating an increased understanding of the playing field • Removing layers of complexity…especially in megacities • Circumventing or removing high-walled political bailiwicks • Expanding partnering among the technologically-naïve players • Encouraging departure from total reliance on triage approaches • Demanding sustainability • Educating the players on the true costs of training in the 21 st century • Embracing CC administrators and engaging them in solutions • Catalyzing applied research and manufacturing programs: faculty training • Stimulation of specialized training facilities, especially in the megacities • Education of T-ORG boards of directors • Creating regionally-approved, industry validated layered, stackable certificates • Constant education of the research universities • Outreach to federal agencies • Triage of the DOL
  • 77. Problems Facing T-ORGs -Operating In the Sphere of the DOL, one person’s experiences- • Hooray…T-ORGs are recognized as Sector Intermediaries, but...there are DOL focal problems – Little DOL concept of need for sustainability – Little DOL concept of training costs – Entry-level employee predominant focus – Reorientation of Congressional mandates – “Spread the Geld” political mentality – Reviewers: Invaders from Planet X • Underdeveloped appreciation of true vs. interpolated WF needs – H1B Training Skills RFP case in point
  • 79. H1B’s in the Biotechnology Industry 2000-2007 • 6-10% of the biotech WF = 18,000 • 80% passed through US higher education • Degrees: in red, composition of the US biotech WF – 40% PhD (19%) – 35% MS (17%) – 20% BS (50%) – 5% MD – 0% AA/AS/vocEd (14%) • 85% acquired permanent residency ($150M) • And the role of the DOL is exactly what in addressing this dependency upon foreign nationals?
