City College of San Francisco Biotechnology Education Program

City College of San Francisco, in partnership with Goodwill Industries and Bay Area biotech employers, will offer an education and training program that will prepare 99 low-income, underrepresented adults and transition-age youth for employment in the biotechnology industry.
CCSF will guide students through a graduated sequence of pre-collegiate training courses. Participants with a 7.5th-12th grade educational level will enter the program through the On-Ramp to Biotech, where they will receive training, career development, basic skills upgrade, and employability skills, as well as participate in industry internships. Participants will also take classes into the Bridge to Biotech program, where students will further expand their mastery of contextualized basic skills, math, and biology.
Goodwill Industries will provide recruitment, case management, and tracking services. At the conclusion of the On-Ramp and the Bridge to Biotech programs, graduates will secure employment in high-wage biotech jobs and/or further their education.
