Education

University of Arkansas Pioneers Two-Week Biomanufacturing Workforce Development Program

The University of Arkansas has received a $493,521 grant supporting the development of a biomanufacturing workforce development program, which could train the region’s unskilled workers for biomanufacturing jobs paying $50k-$60k annually in as little as two weeks.

• Ready Workforce: Leaders are hopeful that the $1m program and resulting workforce will attract a large-scale employer from the industry to the region. As of May 2022, the state had only 410 biological technicians earning an average of $48,150 annually — with only 40 in Northwest Arkansas.

• Fast Track: The grant will allow the University to develop a curriculum, scholarship the first 60 students of the program, and establish three development centers. The first of such centers will be at Collaborative in Bentonville, featuring virtual reality equipment allowing students to train as if they’re in a $15m lab.
