Biological Technology Certificate Program at Pasadena City College

Representative: Wendie Johnston, Ph.D.

Completion of the program will enable students to:

Enter the full-time biotechnology industry workforce

Be competitive for research jobs while at four year institutions take a part-time job while finishing a college degree

The Lab Skills courses are run in a manner to closely simulate the work environment in the biotech industry, including the use of OSHA standards and FDA Good Laboratory Practices standards and industry notebooks skills. A one hour "staff meeting" is held weekly for scheduling and for introduction of new skills. Performance evaluations are held twice each semester and consist of notebook assessment, resume evaluation and skills evaluation.
