Description:

The purpose of this Golden LEAF grant is to support the development of a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) training facility for new and existing workers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnical and life science industries. This lab will be used to provide GMP training that addresses analytical and validation (quality control) requirements for pharmaceutical processes, including entry level training for bio- pharma lab workers in GMP skills training to meet the needs of industry companies in the area, and provide a pool of skilled workers as an incentive for bio-pharma companies to come to or remain in N.C. The project will result in the creation of 50 new positions at Metrics and DSM and upgrade skills for 90 existing employees.
