Boehringer Ingelheim is investing heavily to upgrade and expand their Fremont manufacturing facility. This investment will bring nearly 100 new high-wage and highly-skilled positions to the City of Fremont. This significant expansion will enable the company to increase its manufacturing capacity by one-third.  Under this new proposal, BIFI will deliver more customized, advanced bio-tech manufacturing skills training using all three available ETP methodologies including class/lab, CBT, and Productive Lab.

The proposed training plan is designed to expand trainee skills enabling them to adapt to changing business requirements; improve product quality; and gain transferable skills in advanced biotechnologies, pharmaceutical equipment, and processes. Training for frontline manufacturing workers under this proposal is different from previous ETP Agreements because it will focus primarily on new product manufacturing technologies and procedures.
