BIOTECH INSTRUCTORS MEET WITH MVTPC BUSINESS PARTNER
MVTPC Biotechnology Pathway Instructors traveled to Wilmington, Ohio to tour the ALKERMES Pharmaceutical Plant to get a first hand grasp of Business Partner needs for new employees. Following the tour the Alkermes Department Heads and the Administrative staff worked through a true problem solving and critical skills session with the instructors which will contribute to strengthening the MVTPC Tech Prep pathway program.
