What are biopharma's greatest skilled manufacturing labor needs, and what's the industry doing to fill them? John Balchunas is on the front lines in his position as Workforce Director at NIIMBL, the National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals, and he says advanced degrees and pedigrees aren't the answer. The breadth and depth of NIIMBL's efforts to influence the next generation of the biopharma workforce — from  high school vocational programs to community colleges and on-the-job development—might surprise you. Listen in as Balchunas brings the Business of Biotech up to speed on a training and development agenda that plants seeds early and often.
