Montgomery College and the Universities at Shady Grove (USG), in conjunction with the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), have completed two intensive pilot training programs designed to create a skilled talent pipeline to support the life sciences sector in Montgomery County. The four-week “Bio Boot Camp” program—a public-private effort announced in November 2020—was created to help kickstart recovery from the COVID-19 health crisis.
The pilot programs offered 22 participants opportunities for in-person learning experiences at each campus, commencing while both locations were closed for winter break. Plans are underway to identify additional resources and candidates to expand the program in the coming year.
