All three events are scheduled from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Staffing agencies will also have a large presence at the events.
National health care needs are driving the industry. Jobs in the bioscience sector, for example — formulation and senior analytical scientists — are generally recession proof and high in demand. A struggling economy may affect start-up companies because venture capitalists and investors tend to be more uptight about lending.
As a result of the vast expansions in the manufacturing of new pharmaceuticals, more hourly employees are needed. BioOhio officials have received phone calls and emails and expect a large turnout of individuals who want to learn more information about bioscience careers.
