In response to regional workforce needs, Hagerstown Community College is creating a biotechnology microscopy training center for education on the use of bright field, phase contrast, and fluorescence microscopy with digital imaging capabilities, in collaboration with local biotechnology industries, government laboratories and higher education partners. Two biotechnology courses are being created to strengthen the college's biotechnology program and existing biology courses are being updated with new protocols, developing options for entry into biotechnology employment, including internships. Broader impacts include educational outreach through mobile microscopy training for elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as professional development opportunities for area K-12 teachers, including summer workshops and in-service day activities.

为了满足区域劳动力的需求，哈格斯敦社区学院正在与当地生物技术行业、政府实验室和高等教育合作伙伴合作，创建一个生物技术显微镜培训中心，用于教育使用具有数字成像功能的明场、相差和荧光显微镜。两个生物技术课程正在创建，以加强学院的生物技术计划和现有的生物学课程正在更新与新的协议，开发进入生物技术就业，包括实习的选择。更广泛的影响包括通过为小学，初中和高中学生提供移动的显微镜培训进行教育推广，以及为K-12地区教师提供专业发展机会，包括夏季研讨会和在职日活动。
