Workforce Development

Industry Consortium for Workforce Development

Overview

Companies will be invited to join the workforce development consortium for an annual membership contribution.  This fee will be allocated towards training, in addition to which companies will receive a 25% bonus.  As the consortium is formed, a menu of training programs and courses will be made available to members.  The type of training and specific content will be adapted to suit the needs of the consortium.  Courses will be taught by faculty and staff from NIPTE universities based on area of expertise.

Mission

Developing the workforce to drive the future of domestic manufacturing by providing critical training in pharmaceutical sciences to upskill current employees and to create a pipeline for prospective talent.

Other WFD Opportunities

  • Academic sabbaticals (academia to industry)

  • Visiting scientist opportunities (industry to academia)

  • Internships and co-ops

  • Career opportunities (training, marketing and job placement)

  • Strategies for rapid development of talent pipelines

Courses and Training

The NIPTE consortium has available a wide array of courses and training programs designed for the FDA, industry, and the USP.  Varying in duration, level, delivery, format, and location, this offering will easily fit the needs of companies and personnel.  However, in addition to pre-existing modules and content, members may request customized programs to suit specific needs.  NIPTE can also provide training different languages (e.g. Spanish, Hindi, Korean…), thus facilitating global collaborations.
