What is BioTech?
Biotechnology is the use of living systems or organisms to make useful products. It creates new systems, devices, and materials to improve the quality of our lives by combining modern technology with our knowledge of life processes and living organisms.
With a biotechnology certificate program, OC BioTech Education helps prepare students for internships and entry-level positions in biotech companies and university research labs.

the Industry of Promise
Middle-skill Biotechnology
Wage Data and Labor Market Info
Middle-skill jobs, which require education beyond high school but not a four-year degree, make up the largest part of the labor market in the United States. All too often, key industries, such as biotechnology, are unable to find enough sufficiently trained workers to fill these jobs. Our biotech program fulfills the skills gap needed to acquire and promote within these positions.
