Biotechnology Research and Development Career Pathway

Career pathways are sub-groupings of occupations and career specialties in a career cluster. Groups of occupations are organized under career pathways based upon the common set of specialized knowledge and skills specifically related to the career pathway that students must learn in order to achieve career success.

Biotechnology Research and Development occupations require students to have the knowledge and skills necessary to research and utilize living organisms and their products for the production of medicine or for other medical benefits.

Curricula developed for a program leading to a specialized degree or certification in a career pathway will include the general knowledge and skills of the career cluster, and the specialized knowledge and skills for the career pathway.

To identify the knowledge and technical skills that students will learn in a CTE program or program of study (POS), go to the National Center for Educational Statistics website at: http://nces.ed.gov/
