Companies are already hiring worldwide for certain positions with the intent of never bringing newcomers into a traditional work environment. \nWhat should the future workforce look like?\nHow will the new workforce structure affect Massachusetts and the life sciences industry? \nExpanding Landscape of the Life Sciences Across Massachusetts: Many companies have announced plans to construct new offices\, labs\, and especially biomanufacturing facilities in Massachusetts over the past year. Our talent supply was already inadequate for the demand. \nWho will work in these new jobs?\nHow will Massachusetts meet this new level of demand?\nAre new training mechanisms needed?
