Abstract

Based on a comprehensive data set of job postings in the US, we have found that the growth of postings for the bioeconomy between 2018 and 2022 domintates that of the economy during this period. Moreover, the demand for personnel with collegial training has grown relative to the demand for traditional level bachelor’s degrees. In this regard, we have reviewed industry and public policy responses in the US that have recently been placing greater emphasis on practical and operational training that seems to better handled at the collegial level. The postings enable us to trace the growth of various challenging career possibilities in this domain. An even closer look at the postings reveals some marked changes and tendencies in the skills sought by employers, particularly with regard to competence in data management and the regulatory environment. We look at some recent initiatives in the Québec bioéconomie and offer some suggestions to enhance its growth. Sur la base d’un ensemble étendu de données sur les offres d’emploi aux États-Unis, nous avons constaté que la croissance des offres d’emploi dans la bioéconomie entre 2018 et 2022 domine celle de l’économie au cours de cette période. De plus, la demande de personnel ayant une formation collégiale a augmenté par rapport à la demande de baccalauréats de niveau traditionnel. À cet égard, nous avons examiné les réponses de l'industrie et des politiques publiques aux États-Unis, qui ont récemment mis davantage l'accent sur la formation pratique et opérationnelle, laquelle semble mieux gérée au niveau collégial. Les offres d'emploi nous permettent de suivre l'évolution de diverses perspectives de carrière stimulantes dans ce domaine. Un examen plus approfondi des offres révèle des changements et des tendances marqués dans les compétences recherchées par les employeurs, notamment en ce qui concerne la gestion des données et l'environnement réglementaire. Nous examinons quelques initiatives récentes dans la bioéconomie québécoise et proposons des suggestions pour stimuler sa croissance.
