Welcome!

Why should you participate?
Going from discovery to commercialization success in the bio-economy requires the right people with the right skills in key positions. Ensuring this happens means knowing what competencies are needed to plan recruitment, professional development, and succession planning so the talent is in place.

The foundational step in this process is the identification of key roles then drafting competency profiles that will contribute to the creation of National Occupational Standards (NOS). BioTalent Canada is currently developing standards with industry and as an expert in the field, your input is valuable.

For more information on the overall national project, please visit the Occupational Competencies for Canada’s Bio-economy page on our website.


Who are we looking for?
We are currently looking for individuals who have three or more years of Canadian experience supervising or working as a Sales Manager in the bio-economy. 

The bio-economy includes organizations relating to bio-health, agri-biotech, bio-energy, and bio-industrial organizations.
