Bridge the biosciences skills gap - prepare to transition out of college into paid employment
In today’s fast-paced environment, many college graduates find themselves unprepared for entry-level lab positions despite holding a four-year STEM degree. This “skills gap” is particularly evident in biotech, where few students can work independently in the lab to plan, implement or troubleshoot technical procedures. At the LA Biotech Center we’re committed to closing the gap by ensuring students receive industry-standard training in essential laboratory skills. We offer open-enrollment courses that any college student can join in addition to custom training for accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Our college programs are designed and taught by professional scientists who are also biotech employers. Participants gain valuable experiences for their resumes and a better understanding of how to develop viable STEM careers. Whether you’re an individual student looking to improve your resume or a college professor seeking specialized training for a grant, we can help you achieve your goals.
