The program balances theoretical understanding with hands-on practice in specific laboratory skills needed by employers. These practical components are the focus of the program and are developed through an integration of hands-on laboratory experiences and virtual laboratory exercises. The diploma provides a valuable specialization to students interested in life sciences programs without having to go elsewhere for practical laboratory skills training. You will benefit from: Laboratory skill development linked to industry demands Simulated learning environments Project work that links applied and academic fields Acquiring a recognized skill set applicable to a wide variety of employment opportunities A unique integrated approach Biotechnology is positioned to have a significant effect on Canada over the next 15 years, and biotechnology jobs are on the rise. While Canada has the opportunity to capitalize on biotechnology, it has a critical shortage of highly skilled talents.
