About The Biotech Work Portal
The Biotech Work Portal (http://www.biotechwork.org) provides the most
comprehensive and up-to-date labor market information available about the
U.S. biotechnology industry. It offers innovative technology solutions that
enable online networking, interactive data dissemination, and real-time
user contributions and participation.
The Biotech Work Portal was developed by the San Diego Workforce
Partnership, Inc., (Workforce Partnership) through a grant awarded under
the President's High Growth Job Training Initiative, as implemented by the
U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration.
The Workforce Partnership developed the structure and contents of the
Biotech Work Portal with the help and guidance of a National Biotechnology
Advisory Committee, composed of representatives from biotechnology
industry, biotechnology educational programs, and workforce development
organizations, as well as labor market information professionals from
across the country.
The Advisory Committee defined the biotechnology industry and its
segments in NAICS terms, and built a crosswalk between industry-defined
occupational titles and SOC occupational titles. This enables the Biotech
Work Portal to take advantage of the government's industry and occupational
statistics.
The Portal's contents are targeted to biotechnology employers,
employees, job seekers, and educators, as well as students and labor market
researchers.
