This project aims to enhance bioscience workforce development in California by creating a statewide Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) using the proven Business & Industry Leadership Team (BILT) model. Building on existing partnerships and faculty connections, the initiative fosters collaboration between bioscience industry experts and faculty leaders to align educational curricula with current industry needs and emerging technologies. It also addresses the national demand for a highly skilled bioscience workforce. A key innovation lies in scaling the local BILT model to a statewide level, with the potential to transform workforce development both in California and nationally. Anticipated outcomes include more relevant curricula, deeper faculty-industry engagement, and a stronger, more responsive bioscience talent pathway. The project has two primary goals: (1) Establish a Statewide Industry Advisory Committee using the BILT model for the California Bioscience Workforce Development Hub, and (2) Facilitate an annual in-person BILT Faculty Meeting and Retreat. The scope includes developing a structured, engaging platform for industry and faculty to collaboratively assess and update the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed in the bioscience sector. The methodology features annual KSA assessments, faculty-led curriculum development, and broad dissemination through InnovATEBIO. The project evaluation centers on ongoing assessments of industry needs and curriculum effec
