Objective: To enable graduates to acquire to the industrial technical skills for the Vaccine Manufacturing Industry.
Scaling vaccine manufacturing and R&D across the continent to meet PAVM’s 2040 ambitions will require quadrupling the vaccine workforce to approximately 12,500 full-time employees (FTEs). Currently, there is a scarcity of vaccine development and manufacturing talent in Africa. Today, this talent totals between 2,000 and 3,000 FTEs, of whom many are associated with R&D entities that are not fully vaccine dedicated. Within this existing talent base, there is a lack of key manufacturing capabilities including drug substance and manufacturing R&D.
