Life Sciences Technical Training in Southern Indiana

常春藤科技社区学院正在与印第安纳州大学、工业界和一所高中合作，以改善中学和社区学院的生物技术教育，并增加可在中南部印第安纳州不断发展的生命科学行业就业的技术人员数量。该项目正在通过以下方式扩大常春藤科技的生物技术计划：（1）开发与生命科学相关的生物技术的新证书课程，（2）建立一个试点工厂，为学生提供现实的生物技术工作培训经验，（3）在当地高中创建生命科学学院，以解决高中生数学，沟通和科学思维技能的差距，（4）为中学教师提供专业发展。目标人群包括高中生、社区大学生、失业工人和居住在印第安纳州农村地区的大学生。

Ivy Tech Community College is partnering with Indiana University, industry, and a high school to improve biotechnology education at the secondary and community college levels, and increase the number of technicians available for employment in south-central Indiana's growing life sciences industry. The project is expanding Ivy Tech's biotechnology program by (1) developing new certificate programs in life science-related biotechnology, (2) building a pilot plant that provides students with realistic biotechnology job training experiences, (3) creating a Life Science Academy at a local high school to address gaps in high school students' math, communications, and scientific thinking skills, and (4) providing teachers at the high school with professional development. Target populations include high school students, community college students, displaced workers, and college students living in a rural region of Indiana.
