1. Provide employment opportunities for those displaced by COVID-19 2. Develop an aligned pipeline for Durham youth and adults 3. Increase the ability of Durham’s training infrastructure and resources to math the needs of life science companies
This initiative has three goals:

In the last 18 months alone in Durham County has added
1,500 new biopharma manufacturing jobs
2,600 overall life science jobs Durham Tech, NCCU and Duke only supply dozens of workers per year into the local life sciences industry against a much larger demand.
