This project provided work-based learning opportunities for community college students. Students followed cGLP, cGMP, regulations, and technical lab and soft skills while generating “life science laboratory products” for teachers and instructors to use in their classes. This was an innovative project for fully motivated faculty and students that applied knowledge and hands-on activities under a structured manufacturing-like environment that simulated what a company’s manufacturing operation does. It relied on industry commitment for advice and faculty training and to perform audits for the simulated environment. Creation of industry-recognized badges was planned, as was incorporation of this credential into students’ resumes.
