1 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE STEM Best Practices Conference Industry Strand – Skills & Career Paths Kelly Slone President & CEO, BioUtah June 21, 2016

2 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE BioUtah Utah’s Independent Trade Association Life Sciences Industry Our Mission  Build Utah’s life science ecosystem; enable success and advance innovation for our members Our Vision  Utah to be recognized as a respected global leader in life science innovation that improves the quality of life Our Goals  Educate to retain and attract life science talent in the state  Ensure access to public and private capital and new investment incentives  Lead public policy efforts for the life science ecosystem (State and Fed)  Develop valuable networks and collaborations

3 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE Utah’s Life Science Industry Significant to Utah’s Strong Economy  One of Utah’s 6 Strategic Economic clusters, providing significant impact on Utah’s economy  We provides over 27,000 high skilled jobs with an average wage of $62,337 (125% of Utah Ave wage)  We create products with great potential & life saving possibilities and we improve the quality of care for patients  Our industry’s ability to innovate is highly correlated to our universities and their R&D who help to spawn new intellectual property which advances prototype development and the starting of companies

4 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE 3 Key issues to strengthen and grow the life science industry sector 1.Increase innovation, entrepreneurship and job growth by gaining access to capital and provide competitive incentives 2.Meet intellectual talent development and recruitment needs 3.Bridge the innovation gap between large and small companies

5 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE Medical Innovation Pathway (MIP) Utah Cluster Acceleration Partnership  The Medical Innovations Pathways (MIP) is a replication of Utah Aerospace Pathways (UAP)  MIP is designed to address a critical need for skilled workers in the life science industry. The life science industry has an increasing need for skilled applicants across four distinct subsectors: Medical Devices and Equipment; Drugs and Pharmaceuticals; Research, Testing, and Medical Labs; and Biomedical Distribution  The MIP solution follows the UAP model with goals that include: marketing to change the perception of jobs within the life science industry, state- approved coursework at the high school level that incorporates project-based curriculum, teacher training for effective curriculum implementation at the secondary level, skills certification that targets students meeting proficiencies on identified hands-on skills, and alignment of postsecondary curriculum to industry need  The success of the program requires addressing four key elements: targeted marketing and recruitment aligned curriculum and proficiency testing with industry skills industry participation, and teacher training

7 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE Medical Innovation Pathway Program Design  Targeted Marketing and Recruitment – Marketing efforts will target different groups (e.g. parents, students, counselors) to support recruitment of students to participate in training programs at the secondary and postsecondary levels. Partnering with Utah Department of Workforce Services will be essential in identifying the adult population that can take advantage of this training  Aligned Curriculum/Proficiency Testing/Certification/Work-Based Learning – Coursework at both secondary and postsecondary levels will be aligned to industry skills. Postsecondary curriculum will be refined and implemented during the 2017 spring semester. The secondary school system will focus on development of pathways, courses, and curriculum during the grant period. Alignment of secondary pathways with postsecondary pathways will be conducted to support smooth transition between the two levels. Certification and work- based experiences will be aligned to curriculum  Industry Participation – Industry partner participation will support skill identification, curriculum and proficiency test development and ongoing refinement, and work-based learning opportunities for students. Work-based learning will include such areas as field trips to support student awareness and understanding of the industry, job shadows, industry projects that can be used in the high school setting, and the possibility of potential opportunities for student internships at the end of the senior year  Teacher Training – Teacher effectiveness is crucial for the success of MIP. Secondary teachers will participate in internships in the companies to support skill development. Additionally, teaching opportunities for industry partner employees will be encouraged with employees acting as guest lecturers and/or instructors for a course during the year

8 PRESENTATION TITLE | DATE Medical Innovations Pathway Outcomes  State approved courses at the secondary level aligned to identified industry skills  Refined coursework at the post-secondary level that address skill requirements of industry partners  Curriculum that includes performance proficiencies required by industry that assesses the quality of student skill attainment  Clearly articulated pathways between secondary and postsecondary to support students obtaining certifications  Marketing/outreach that supports changing the perception of the industry and recruitment of students  Industry tours, job shows, project based learning experiences, student internships in industry
