Bengaluru: Bangalore-based biotechnology firm Biocon entered into a partnership with Manipal Education Malaysia (MEMp) for a graduate program on Talent Management in biotech sector. The MOU will include an internship and graduate employment program for students of Manipal International University who will be trained and employed in Biocon's Malaysian factory.
"As we expand our footprint into Malaysia, we want to ensure that we play our part in the development of the Malaysian Human Resource for the biopharmaceutical industry. Our biopharma facility in Bio-XCell, Iskandar Malaysia will be a fully-integrated manufacturing and R&D facility which will require many talented graduates, not just in biotechnology, but also in other management disciplines. We would like to hire a large number of good local talent and nurture them further to shape up into fine biotech professionals, " said CMD Kiran Mazumdar Shaw.
Biocon is developing its manufacturing and R&D facility in Iskandar Malaysia, Johor with an investment of over RM 500 million, which will be operational in 2014.
"Universities cannot operate in isolation. Industry linkages are crucial to ensure continuous relevance between syllabus with industry development and latest R&D. Industry linkages also provide our students with industrial training and employment opportunities, thus, it is our aim to forge linkages with global industry leaders, like Biocon."
