澳门威尼斯赌场 is focused on creating accessible 路径ways 为 future biotechnicians to progress from public high schools, to degree and certificate programs, to biotechnology careers and/or further study at four-year universities.
A 生物技术nology Advisory Board survey was developed by the grant team to assess entry-level skills required by employers. Findings were disseminated to the biotech education community and as a result, Har为d developed six new biotechnology courses, a revised 生物技术nology Certificate, and a new AAS degree in 生物技术nology.
