Anchoring a Unified Bioscience Credentialing System

Description:  Our mission is to anchor a unified credentialing system within the industry by expanding state-level adoption of the Biotechnician Assistant Credentialing Exam (BACE). This will provide a validated talent pool to benefit industry and provide job candidates a mechanism to showcase their mastery of competencies and skills in demand by industry. Our goals are to establish task forces, testing sites, and teacher training in California, Washington, Georgia, Texas, and Nebraska.

Speakers:  Tamara Mandell, Bridgette Kirkpatrick, and Philip Gibson
