Building Ohio’s Life Sciences Talent Pipeline: BioPathways & Career Portal in Action
Monday, July 20 · 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM · Easton A
Ohio’s life sciences industry is rapidly growing, yet many students and educators lack clear, accessible pathways into these high-demand careers. This interactive session will highlight how Ohio Life Sciences is addressing this gap through two connected initiatives: BioPathways and the OLS Career Portal/Talent Network. Attendees will not only explore how these tools align education with workforce needs, provide real-time career navigation resources, and support equitable access to high-quality career pathways—they will actively engage with them. Through guided discussion, small-group reflection, and live exploration, participants will share current challenges, exchange ideas, and collaboratively identify opportunities to strengthen career pathways in their own regions. The session will include practical, participant-driven strategies for integrating these resources into CTE programs, career advising, and work-based learning models. Dedicated time for peer-to-peer dialogue and roundtable discussion will allow attendees to learn from one another and build connections across districts and communities. Participants will leave with actionable, replicable approaches to strengthen career pathway visibility, deepen employer engagement, and support smoother student transitions into high-growth industries, along with a network of peers working toward similar goals.
