Access Excellence includes a variety of resources for students and teachers about biotechnology. The Student Biotech Expo draws together high school students from Seattle-area biology, biotechnology and molecular biology classes and allows them to present their work to each other and to the public. The Expo promotes biotechnology literacy and is an opportunity for students to showcase work that reflects different aspects of this technology. The Student Biotech Expo is hosted by the Washington Biotechnology Foundation (WBF). Bio-Link provides educational resources for educators, and information about training and careers for students.
WOIS (Washington Occupation Information System) provides a wealth of information about Washington careers, schools and training programs. Community and Technical Colleges, public libraries, vocational rehabilitation services and career counselors who subscribe to the WOIS system provide free access to WOIS listings. For information on where to access WOIS, see the link above. Search for "Biotechnology" on the WOIS Web site to retrieve specific information about biotechnology.
