Introduction
The California Community College System has charged the Centers of Excellence (COE), part of
the Economic and Workforce Development (EWD) program, to identify industries and occupations
that have unmet employee development needs and introduce partnership potential for colleges.
The purpose of this study of the Biotechnology sector in California is to better understand if the 29
community colleges with Biotechnology courses or programs in the state are meeting the demand
for biotechnicians that employers have. This study of Biotech workforce demand and supply will
compare the supply of biotechnicians being produced by community colleges in California to the
demand for these workers in the Lifesciences/Biotechnology sector.
To conduct the study the California Community Colleges Centers of Excellence and CCC
Biotechnology Sector Navigator and her team of regional Deputy Sector navigators (DSNs) used
multiple data sources and methods to gather the necessary data to assess if there is a gap
between supply and demand. The study provides both a state and regional analysis of the
supply of community college trained biotechnicians compared to the demand in the labor market.
The CCC Doing What Matters for Jobs and the Economy program has charged community colleges
with having the right number of biotech programs in the right locations, producing the right
number of graduates, with the right skills to meet the needs of employers in this sector. By
aligning supply with demand in this way, employers will be more productive because they will
have the key talent they need to succeed. Furthermore, the alignment of supply and demand will
need to be fine tuned going forward as the labor market changes. Colleges, working with the
Biotech SN and her team, will need to continue to adjust the supply of graduates and the skills
they learn to meet the on-going workforce needs of employers.
How we did the research
The methodology used by the COE and Biotech SN/DSN team to do this study was to generate
both labor market demand data and college supply data, at both a state and regional level, so
that the two could be compared to determine if California’s community colleges with
Biotechnology courses or programs are meeting the labor market demand for biotechnicians.
Demand Data
The COE team took the lead on generating the data to determine the regional and state labor
market demand for specific “middle skill” or technician level biotechnology occupations for which
community colleges have programs. Multiple data sources were used to generate the demand
data for the Lifesciences/Biotechnology sector:
 EMSI data sets
 Real-time labor market job postings data from Burning Glass
 InfoUSA employer data
EMSI data sets were used to look at projected demand over the next five years (2013-18) for a
cluster of six occupations considered to be “entry-level” positions in the Biotechnology sector.
Wage data for these occupations was researched.
Environmental Scan: Recycling and Materials Management in California, December 2013
Burning Glass data was used to look at on-line job postings in California for the 2013 calendar
year to better understand the demand for each of the six occupations based on on-line job
postings. This data includes job postings by top employers; by top skills and certifications in
demand by employers; and by educational requirements.
Info USA data was reviewed to better understand the number and type of establishments in the
state and by region, for the various industry sub-sectors that make up the overall Biotechnology
sector as well as the sales volume of establishments by industry sub-sector and region.
Supply Data
The SN/DSN team took the lead on generating both state and regional supply data from the 29
community colleges in the state with biotechnology courses or programs. Multiple data sources
were used in this process as well:



Chancellor’s Office MIS data
Supply projections based on surveys of colleges’ course offerings
Validation of program supply by college program coordinators (done by DSNs)
The supply data from these sources provides an overview of biotechnology programs in the state
and the CCC Chancellor’s Office (CO) data on the number of graduates - both Associate level
degrees and Certificates of Achievement – that are recognized by the CO. It is important to note
that local certificates from a college are departmental awards and do not appear on student
transcripts. Colleges that have no formal or informal program are those that only offer courses.
The supply data also provides estimates of the current annual capacity of California Community
Colleges to produce workforce ready students and the current annual supply of job ready
students. A detailed description of the methodology used to generate these numbers is provided
in the “Supply section” of this report. The SN/DSN team then surveyed and conducted interviews
with the Biotechnology Program Directors at each of the colleges in the state to validate the
assumptions made in generating the current annual capacity and annual supply numbers for each
college.
Finally the supply data includes other potential sources of supply, which include names of fouryear institutions in California that have baccalaureate or undergraduate programs in
biotechnology.
In the Recommendations section of the report, the COE and Biotech SN/DSN team makes
recommendations to colleges about how to respond to the workforce needs of biotechnology
employers as a result of the study.

Environmental Scan: Recycling and Materials Management in California, December 2013
Projected labor market demand data in California is presented below in Table X for six
occupations that were defined by the research team as entry-level biotechnology occupations for
which community colleges prepare students. The occupations are:
1) Manufacturing Production Technicians
2) Biological Technicians
3) Chemical Technicians
4) Quality Control Analysts
5) Medical and Clinical Laboratory Technicians
6) Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers and Weighers
This data was pulled based on filtering the occupations through the specific industry NAICS codes
included in Battelle’s Bioscience industry definition of 27 NAICS codes. (see Appendix x for this
Bioscience industry definition - Bioscience industry definition file in Drop Box.)
The chart below shows for each occupation the projected growth (change) between 2013 and
2018 and that change represented as a percentage increase from 2013 to 2018. The chart also
shows the projected number of workers for each occupation who will need to be replaced over
the five-year period due to workers retiring or leaving for other reasons. In the “Openings”
column the number of new workers from the “change column” and replacement workers have been
added together to create a Total Openings number for each occupation. Openings have been
divided by 5 to create and “Annual Openings” number that is an average number of annual
openings over the period.

The data shows that current employment for the cluster of six entry-level occupations is 17,045.
Over the 2013-2018 period it is projected that 2,533 new jobs will be added to this cluster of
occupations to bring employment in 2018 to 19,587. It is projected that there will be 4,738
openings (new plus replacement jobs) for the cluster of six occupations over the five year period,
with 948 openings annually. The growth rate for the cluster of six occupations is 15% over the
five-year period, which if averaged is an annual growth rate of 3%.
The occupation that is projected to have the greatest number of openings in California over the
next five years is Inspectors, Testers, Sorters, Samplers and Weighers (1,999) followed by
Medical and Clinical Laboratory Technicians (916). The fastest growing occupation is
Chemical Technicians, with 18% growth over the period, followed closely by Medical and Clinical

*In order to pull education requirements and get 100%, data had to be pulled from the new burning
glass interface. The old interface produced values that added up to over 100%; it included all
education (minimum and preferred) rather than just minimum education. In the new interface, the skills
clusters were not exactly the same and only went as far as “sciences: biotech” instead of “sciences:
biotech: research/clinical trials”. This produced an increase in the number of job postings for pull 2.
This is the only instance in which this data is used. All other data for pull 2 is from the original pulls.

Supply Side Data
Introduction
This report provides estimates of the annual current capacity of California Community Colleges to
produce workforce ready students and the current annual supply of job ready students. The
report is divided into four parts.
Estimated Capacity & Supply outlines the methods used to calculate numbers of estimated supply
and estimated capacity for colleges with the resulting numbers entered into a table.
Criteria for Inclusion in Capacity and Supply provides an explanation of the criteria employed in the
process of evaluating the capacity of each college to produce workforce ready students on an
annual basis and the number of workforce ready student supplied each year.
CCC Biotechnology Programs provides an overview of biotechnology programs in the state.
Associate level degrees and Certificates of Achievement are recognized by the CCC Chancellor’s
Office and appear on the student’s transcript. Local certificates are departmental awards and
do not appear on student transcripts. Colleges that have no formal or informal program are
those that only offer courses.
Centers of Excellence

Environmental Scan: Recycling and Materials Management in California, December 2013
Other Potential Sources of Supply supplies names of 4 year institutions that have baccalaureate or
undergraduate programs in biotechnology.
Background and Method
Consensus among faculty leaders of CCC Life Sciences/Biotechnology Programs is that the supply
of individuals to the labor market cannot be determined by counting the number of awards
(degrees and certificates). Not only do many ‘successful non-completers’ never finish a program
to get the award, many who qualify never fill out the paper work necessary to get the award.
Thus, it was the consensus among faculty that there needs to be a better way to measure students’
success.
The concept of “Skill Builders” put forth in a work called “The Missing Piece” by Kathy Booth and
Peter Riley Bahr was the inspiration for developing a new metric for success. Booth and Bahr
examined the course taking behavior of community college students
(http://www.wested.org/project/quantifying-non-completion-pathways-to-success) and found
that many students can be classified as ‘skill builders’ – students who take only the courses they
need to gain employment or advancement and who do not seek degrees or certificates. They
propose that ‘skill builder’ students, known for years by biotech faculty as ‘successful noncompleters’, be used in quantifying program success. This concept was utilized as the basis for
this study.
Methodology
This study was limited to TOP coded classes 043000 Biotechnology. For the years 2008-2009
through 2012-2013 data was obtained on Enrollment (CCCCO Datamart) and CCCCO
Curriculum Inventory. Additionally program status was determined by pulling information from
2013-2014 college catalogs. Courses in the catalogs were categorized as follows based on
course description:
 General Education or Career Exploration (GE) classes are for career exploration.
Generally these are classes of 3 units or less with less than 48 hands-on hours. GE/CE
courses are not counted toward capacity or supply.
 Skill Builder-Basic (SBB) classes provide a broad set of foundational skills as preparation
for entry level work. SBB classes provide at least 96 hours hands-on, covering a broad
array of basic lab techniques. A college with SBB courses is considered to be contributing
to capacity and supply unless there has been no activity within the last year (2012-2013).
 Skill Builder-Advanced (SBA) classes provide a broad set of more advanced skills to
prepared students. SBA classes are usually aimed at the SBB class completer and/or
incumbent worker. SBA classes have at least 96 hours (2 units) of hands-on advanced
techniques. 50% of SBA enrolled students are SBB completers. A college with SBA courses
is considered to be contributing to capacity and supply unless there has been no activity
within the last year.
 Specialty Classes (S) classes provide a limited skill-set. Often these are focused on
‘advanced’ techniques classes for proficient students or incumbent workers. A sufficiently
broad selection of specialty classes providing a foundational skill set can be counted as
equivalent to a Skill Builder Basic course.


Internship classes or Work Experience classes (I) provide work based learning that
enables a smooth transition to industry. Since internship students are drawn from the pool
of SBB and SBA students they are not counted toward capacity and supply figures.
Estimation of Program Capacity (the maximum number of unique students the CCCs could
provide) and Supply (the actually number of job seekers produced annually) was conducted as
follows.
1. Analyze Active Programs: For each ‘active’ program (data in Datamart, Curriculum
Inventory, and a 2013-2014 College Catalog); determine which courses qualify as Skill
Builder Basic (SBB) and Skill Builder Advanced (SBA). Any college that had no offering in
the last year was assumed to have no capacity or supply. Colleges offering only GE, career
exploration or specialty courses/programs were not included.
2. Estimate Capacity: Assume that each SBB class enrolls ~24 and ~20 finish. Each SBA class
enrolls ~24 with about 50% being ‘new’ students not in SBA) and 20 finish, (10 of which are
unique individuals). A college can also score as having a capacity and producing a supply if
they have a sufficient number of specialty classes to constitute a Skill Builder Basic course.
Example: a college that runs one SBB class and one SBA class per year would have a
capacity of 30.
A number of factors affect the accuracy of these figures including changes to the data in
Datamart that may have occurred after this study was undertaken as well as the fact that
some programs are grant funded and therefore do not report to Datamart. The data relies
on average offerings over the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years found in Datamart.
Based on the foregoing, the numbers in this study must be considered rough estimates.
3. Determine Supply: Supply, the actual number of unique students who are work-force ready
as determined by interviews of relevant faculty or department heads. The estimated supply
number does not include transfer students or incumbent workers, only those that are
immediately ready to look for a job.
Results of Study
Determination of Active Colleges and Programs: This is a study of active Colleges Reporting
under TOP Code 043000 (Biotechnology & Biomedical). The data sources are – CCC Curriculum
Inventory and 2013/14 College Catalogs. If a College listed has “No Program/No Award” then
college offers course/s only.

Conclusion
For the very first time we have a list of the active colleges throughout the state for the TOP code
043000 (Biotechnology/Biomedical). Estimated capacity of labor market ready individuals is
approximately 600 and estimated actual supply is approximately 400. While these estimates
rely heavily on assumptions and individual reporting, the group working on this project feels that
this is far more accurate than counting the number of awards given.
It is important to note that other producers of supply for jobs requiring no degree, an associate or
bachelor’s degree, and up to two years’ experience may exist within the state.
Addendum -- Other Sources of Supply: A brief examination of four-year (both public and
private) and proprietary institutions in California was done to find four-year (and other)
institutions that offered baccalaureate level degrees and undergraduate certification as well as
short term (about 7 months) training programs from proprietary institutions. The results are given
below with the name of the institute and the type of degree or certificate offered.

Supply vs. Demand Gap Analysis and Overall Observations
Demand for the group of six entry-level biotechnology occupations, when filtered by the
biotechnology industry NAICS codes, totals 948 annual openings in CA. The college analysis
shows a supply estimate of approximately 400 job ready biotechnicians. This leads to the
conclusion that based on the best available data, the community colleges in the state are under
supplying the state’s labor market for entry-level biotechnology workers by approximately 550
workers.
It has been difficult to determine how many Bachelor’s degrees biotechnology students are being
supplied by four-year schools in the region who should be considered in the supply numbers,
because they are qualified and competing for the same entry-level biotechnology jobs that
community college graduates are.

Assistant/Technician, Research Assistant/Associate, Quality Control Technician/Assistant,
Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS), Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT), Animal Technician,
and others. It is important for community colleges in the state to make students aware
upon graduation of the actual job titles and job opportunities available to them in the
labor market.
The gap analysis suggests that community colleges might need to increase their capacity and
perhaps even add programs to meet the demand of employers for entry-level
biotechnology workers. Estimated annual capacity of labor market ready individuals is
approximately 600 students but estimated actual supply is approximately 400. This gap
between actual annual supply and annual capacity should be addressed first by the colleges
to determine how to move toward 600 students being the actual supply each year. Then
colleges should region by region determine the specific workforce needs of employers at the
occupational and skill level, to help guide how to build program capacity in a strategic
manner. Note that while these estimates rely heavily on assumptions and individual reporting,
the research team feels that this is far more accurate than counting the number of awards
given and recorded by the CO.
According to the official classification of the occupational titles considered, a Bachelor’s
degree is a minimum required credential for most jobs. However, employer feedback and the
analysis of job advertisements in the region suggest that employers value hands-on
experience and skills more than a four-year credential. Employers confirmed that
community college students who receive certificates and/or Associate degrees and have
hands-on laboratory training are desirable candidates for hiring.
Based on employer feedback, the colleges should make sure that their Biotechnology related
programs are preparing students in: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Quality Control,
fundamentals of scientific knowledge (“scientific common sense”), as well as workplace skills
and abilities. It is recommended that colleges review their programs for these
knowledge/skill areas to make sure they are incorporated into curricula.
Certifications are not always required by employers (81% of the job advertisements
considered did not list a certification requirement). However, employers prefer trainees with a
certification over those without it when considering candidates during a selection process.
Phlebotomy certification is important to employers. Employers noted that phlebotomy
knowledge/skills are becoming increasingly important to biotech employers. Colleges should
consider preparing students to take industry certifications.
