Home » Market Sector Partnership » Biotech The Biotech Sector Westchester and Putnam Counties have a thriving biotech industry made up of life sciences, pharmaceutical, engineering, manufacturing and sales companies. Westchester and Putnam Counties employ approximately 20 percent of the biotechnology workforce in New York. Biotech is important not only to the economic vitality of the region but also the state. The Westchester-Putnam One Stop Employment Center, in partnership with Aureon Biosciences, Inc., is leading the sector partnership. The work of the partners is to engage with employers in the region in order to identify the workforce gaps and needs that exist to determine the education and training programs that are necessary to meet the needs of employers. Sector partnership activities: Mini-MBA (September 26-28, 2011) – Led by Aureon, this is a public-private partnership among the WIB, life sciences/biotech employers, and Westchester Community College. The first three-day program will be offered to 15 Aureon personnel. It will focus on essential leadership skills. The skills and curriculum are transferable to other industries. The program will be offered again in the future for others who wish to participate. “Management Skills for New Managers” and “Harassment & Code of Conduct Training”—Led by Aureon, this is a public-private partnership among the WIB, life sciences/biotech employers, and Westchester Community College. First sessions to be conducted in September and October, 2011. The skills and curriculum are transferable to other industries.
