A new report from the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs forecasts that 21,000 additional jobs are likely to be created in the Biopharma sector in Ireland by 2027. The report, entitled ‘Skills for Biopharma – Researching and forecasting the current and future skills needs of the Biopharma sector in Ireland to
2027′ shows the strong growth in employment in the Biopharma sector in both manufacturing and services subsectors in Ireland since 2016, and highlights the specific skills needed to support this dynamic and strategically important sector for Ireland’s economy.
In developing this programme, NIBRT consulted extensively with biopharmaceutical employers to determine their skills requirements. Senior management, who have responsibility for training and hiring within these organisations, have indicated that significant job openings currently exist in the biosciences industry in the fields regulatory affairs, quality control and lab analysis. This Special Purpose Award has been specifically designed in response to the requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry, and it provides a thorough introduction to the lab skills required for working in a quality control environment.
