The outline of a strategy for training technicians who will undertake biotechnology-oriented tasks as employees is the focus of this review. Technical and Further Education (TAFE) in Western Australia has recently restructured electives offered in certificate and diploma courses of Applied Science. The aim of restructuring was to allow a broader choice catering for specialized streams. With a few additions it would be possible to list a set of biotechnology options for technicians specializing in this area. After identifying employers in Western Australia, data on technician employment characteristics and training needs was gathered through a survey and used to formulate a future development strategy. In the past little attention has been given anywhere in Australia to the training needs of this group. The availability of such appropriately trained employees will increasingly be recognized as a vital link in the success of any biotechnology enterprise.
本文综述的重点是为即将作为员工承担生物技术相关任务的技术人员制定培训策略的大纲。西澳大利亚州的技术与继续教育学院（TAFE）最近对应用科学证书和文凭课程中的选修课进行了重组。重组的目的是提供更广泛的选择，以满足不同的专业方向。只需稍作补充，就可以列出一套针对该领域专业技术人员的生物技术课程选项。在确定了西澳大利亚州的雇主后，通过一项调查收集了有关技术人员就业特征和培训需求的数据，并用于制定未来的发展战略。过去，澳大利亚各地对这一群体的培训需求关注甚少。拥有经过适当培训的此类员工，将日益被视为任何生物技术企业成功的关键环节。
