Greenville’s two leading educational institutions continually fill the talent pipeline with their pharmaceutical and biotechnology programs. “Much of our workforce received pharma-specific training at East Carolina University, Pitt Community College and other area institutions, so the workforce pipeline has been advantageous for us,” says Troy Woelfel, General Manager at Catalent Greenville, Inc.
East Carolina University (ECU) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in biomedical engineering while Pitt Community College’s (PCC) biotechnology program is designed to meet the increasing demands for skilled laboratory technicians in various fields of biological and chemical technology.
The two institutions have come together for a one-of-a-kind collaboration, North Carolina Pharmaceutical Services Network, that provides a continuum of pharmaceutical education and training to new and existing companies in the Greenville region and beyond. ECU’s Pharmaceutical Development and Manufacturing Center of Excellence further prepares students for pharmaceutical careers and trains existing workforce in current good manufacturing practices (cGMP).
