CHICAGO & RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--()--Want to join North Carolina’s thriving community in the life sciences?

Sign up for the North Carolina Life Sciences Talent Community, launched today by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center in partnership with Beaker Inc. This free, confidential community will inform members of North Carolina company activity, including planned workforce expansions.

This announcement was made in the North Carolina Pavilion at the Biotechnology Industry Organization’s annual conference in Chicago. Some 17,000 attendees from around the globe attend BIO 2013; many are contemplating their next career move.

“Every year at the North Carolina Pavilion, people ask us how they can work in North Carolina,” said Robin Deacle, NCBiotech’s vice president of corporate communications.

“This new community will link current and future North Carolina professionals to the most recent information on the life sciences in North Carolina.”

Partnership with Beaker.com

Beaker has customized and expanded its pioneering talent community platform to support this effort. It is widely thought to be the first of its kind in the country.

“Beaker works with many of the leading employees across the life sciences industry using talent communities to drive their candidate recruitment and key talent initiatives,” said Jeffrey Clark, CEO of Beaker. “In this instance we partnered with North Carolina to bring together those professionals currently working in or those with an ambition to work in the North Carolina life sciences industry.”

The North Carolina Life Science Talent Community is another example of the public-private partnerships catalyzed by NCBiotech to support the growth of the state’s life science community and to create jobs.
