BioOhio has identified workforce development and talent recruitment as a priority within its evolving efforts to accelerate bioscience in Ohio.
 
A skilled and available workforce has been and will continue to be integral to the growth of Ohio’s bioscience industry. In recent years, Ohio’s diverse bioscience industry has made great strides in forming, attracting and growing companies. This unprecedented growth has demanded an abundant and available talent pool.
 
While Ohio’s new and expanding bioscience companies represent the predominant share of workforce demand, the supply of talent comes from both the existing industry base and the state’s educational institutions. More than 800 bioscience-related entities operate in Ohio and 213 post-secondary institutions — including 4-year universities, 2-year colleges, and adult career centers — prepare students for careers. BioOhio is committed to connecting demand with supply to ensure consistent growth for our companies and quality careers for our best and brightest.

The overall bioscience industry—including commercial entities, medical colleges, and the health care delivery system—directly and indirectly generates more than 1.4 million jobs in Ohio. Commercial bioscience contributes more than 50,000 direct jobs to Ohio’s economy. This includes a diverse range of jobs such as manufacturing engineers and managers, lab and imaging technicians, toxicologists, clinical trial coordinators, food technologists, bioinformatics software developers, bioscience entrepreneurs and much more.  Details in the Ohio Bioscience Growth Report.
