Dislocated workers who have gone through our Bioprocess Training program and found jobs:
“Betty” and her husband “John”, both were laid off from a nearby company called Meritor. (~ 6 adults went through our training from this lay off.) They held machinist jobs that after 10-15 years paid ~$20/hour. The company closed, and they were retrained through our Bioprocess Technology program at IHCC. They are both now employed at Cargill in Eddyville, Iowa, and making the same or higher income after only about 3 years of employment. The woman has been promoted to a day job in charge of laboratory instrumentation, no longer working shifts, with only our 21 month degree.

“Sarah”, has a high school diploma (1993) and was working as a waitress making $10,400 per year until January of 2004. She was a stay at home mom from 1998 to 2000. She had fun at work and liked the social environment. But she decided that she wanted to “make a contribution to a team that was going to do something significant; to make a difference in peoples’ lives”. After completing her degree at FTCC in the summer of 2005, she landed a job with Tengion making neobladders. She earns $27,000 with excellent benefits, stock options and performance merit pay.

“Christy”, single mother of 3, has a high school diploma (1985). She owned her own business selling nutritional supplements from home and earned $18,000. Most recently she taught aerobics at the local YMCA earning $3,510 per year. Now she works at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in a cytogenetics lab. She is responsible for procedures that involve harvested bone marrow and blood samples from patients. She earns $ 25,000 per year with great benefits. She is enrolled at UNCG where she will earn her B.S. in biology, and thus be eligible to take the Cytogenetics Certification Exam. The B.S. will raise her salary to $31,000. Passing the exam will jump her salary to $40,000. The certification will enable her to make diagnoses.
Speaking about her work, Christy says “I really love it. I hardly ever take lunch because I like to finish my work. I love the clinical part, which surprises me since I thought I was going to get into research”.
