SALISBURY — Are you interested in a career with high growth potential and above-average starting salaries? Livingstone College has announced the launch of its biomanufacturing training program. This program offers an exclusive opportunity for residents of the Rowan-Salisbury community and beyond to enter the booming world of biomanufacturing — and it’s completely free thanks to funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration.

No experience? No problem. To qualify, you’ll need only a high school diploma or GED. Through a blend of online modules and hands-on training sessions, you’ll acquire the essential skills needed to thrive in this dynamic field. Upon finishing the program, participants will earn both a certificate of achievement and an Advanced Biomanufacturing Certificate.

Mark your calendars for the inaugural in-person course, scheduled from July 15-26.

The sessions will run daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and take place on the campus of Livingstone College, located at 701 W Monroe St. in Salisbury.

If you are ready to jumpstart your career in biomanufacturing, secure your spot on the summer registration list now: Biomanufacturing Training Registration. For further information, reach out to Dr. Jo-Sette Wilkes at biotraining@livingstone.edu.
