BPD BioGrow 2025

This free event is designed to showcase North Carolina’s biologics and pharmaceutical (biopharma) manufacturing educational and career opportunities statewide. The event will feature representatives from North Carolina training programs at community colleges and universities. Plus there will be a panel of recent grads who have successfully completed local training programs (and got hired!) and a panel of industry representatives including sharing what it takes to get hired at their company. Ample networking time with refreshments will allow you to learn about available training programs and connect with our invited speakers and other attendees. Everyone is welcome and we hope you’ll join us on February 5th!
