In response to the growing need for biomanufacturing technicians in Southern California, BIOCOM (an industry association representing over 1500 companies in California) and three CSU campuses (CSULB, CSUF, and Cal State LA) have joined together to develop a new Biomanufacturing Technician program.
This program is designed to prepare you for an entry-level position in the biomanufacturing, biotechnology, and biopharmaceutical industries. By completing three 40-hour modules, you will develop a theoretical and experiential knowledge of biomanufacturing including various state-of-the-art techniques and processes, instrumentation used in biomanufacturing industries, research and discovery, and process development?.
Upon successful completion of the 120-hour CSU program, students be awarded digital badges for each of the three courses and the entire Biomanufacturing Technician Program.
Showcase your professional accomplishments with digital badges. A digital badge is a visual representation of skills and knowledge you have gained by completing a program or course.
After completing the Biomanufacturing Technician courses and program, you will be awarded your digital badges on the Badgr platform. From there, you can create an account where you will be able to display all the badges you've earned digitally. Though the digital badge does not count as academic credit, this highly coveted digital badges can be placed on your résumé and on LinkedIn or other social media platforms.
