Engaging with government education and training programmes.
High-tech sectors such as biopharma and med-tech are key drivers of economic growth and productivity, and generally, provide high value-added and well-paid employment.
In 2015 33.9 million people in the EU were employed in the manufacturing sector. And yet a skills gap is evident, as a 2017 survey of biopharma CEOs indicated that they were concerned about the availability of key skills as a threat to their organisation's growth prospects.

An Irish success story
Since 2010, Innopharma has developed programmes for the (Bio) Pharmaceutical, MedTech and Food Sectors. As first providers in Ireland of industry-led up-skilling course through a Labour Market Activate fund, they successfully transitioned 100 unemployed engineers and scientists during an economic downturn to transition into professional roles within the Pharma/MedTech Sectors over a six month period. This success was repeated annually since 2010, securing nearly €25m in Government funding which has delivered over 3,500 skilled personnel into high-end manufacturing.
