Trained First-to-Industry Life Science Academy
The Graduate Academy program and content has been specifically designed to equip biological sciences graduates with the knowledge, background and confidence to make the breakthrough into their first role within the clinical research industry, but also to support our clients in ensuring they have access to a robust training program for current incumbents new to industry. The Academy is designed to give the attendees an intensive two week (where feasible if also employed), content rich immersion into the most important areas required to succeed in the industry which can be absorbed as an on-line program or as a mixture of on-line and face to face interaction. The attendees will emerge from the program with a thorough appreciation of those areas that they will need to build on in their initial job roles, their areas of interest and direction, but perhaps most importantly, a common understanding of the values as well as the challenges of working in this industry, and a confidence and will to succeed.
