About the LSWC
Our Mission: Building a competitive life sciences workforce​
The Life Sciences Workforce Collaborative (LSWC), formerly the Coalition of State Bioscience Institutes (CSBI), is a coalition of life science industry associations and institutes from across the United States and Puerto Rico who are working to build a competitive workforce that will ensure the United States’ leadership in life sciences innovation.
As conduits to large networks of industry, academic and other allied stakeholders, the LSWC is ideally poised to facilitate workforce solutions for the industry amidst a constantly shifting workforce landscape impacted by: cycles of growth and retraction; competition for talent; outsized demand for skilled technicians; and the continued need by the industry to access, advance, and retain a broad talent base.
Together, we are a growing body of workforce partnerships and best practices, creating opportunities to build strong engagement and impact across the United States and Puerto Rico.
