BioTalent Canada (formerly the Biotechnology Human Resource Council - BHRC) was created in April 1997 in response to the 1996 Human Resource study on the biotechnology sector.
This study (known as the Paget Report) proposed a series of recommendations to ensure that the Canadian biotechnology sector has access to the skilled employees it requires, both now and in the future. Based on these recommendations, BioTalent Canada has developed many innovative products and services to meet these HR needs.
