From 2005 to 2006 a group of 35 Washington State industry, education,
workforce, government, and economic development leaders convened
to discuss some of the challenges facing the life sciences industry.
This group was called the Life Sciences Skill Panel. One of the
challenges noted by the panel was the lack of awareness regarding
the variety of jobs available in this industry and the need to
have more people prepare to enter high demand jobs in the life
sciences industry. LS-central.com is one project outcome of this
panel.
