The BioScience Partnership began in 2005 as the Biotech Human Capital Industry Partnership.  In 2008, the Life Science Career Alliance and Chester County Economic Development Council merged the Life Science Industry Partnership with the Human Capital Industry Partnership with the support of PennsylvaniaBIO to become the BioScience Industry Partnership.

 

The mission of the BioScience Partnership is to grow and develop the region's life science workforce by creating a collaborative environment that draws on the collective resources of industry, academia, government and other supporting organizations. 

 

The goals of the partnership are to be recognized as the number one life science region in the U.S., to preserve and strengthen the current workforce through continuous learning and training, to ensure the sustainability of the partnership, to build a greater awareness among the life science community of the value of the partnership and to generate an interest in life science career opportunities in grades K-12.
