Empowering Careers: Gloucester Biotechnology Academy's Pathway to Biotech
In this episode of the Biotech Career Coach Podcast, we revisit an interview with John Doyle, Education Director at the Gloucester Biotechnology Academy, originally conducted for the Building Biotechs podcast. We discuss pathways for individuals with little to no experience to enter the biotech industry, emphasizing the academy's role in re-skilling and transitioning careers through intensive training programs. John tells us about the academy's offerings, including a seven-month training curriculum followed by internships, industry partnerships, and their outreach through middle school programs to inspire young minds. We also highlight the Massachusetts Life Sciences Internship Challenge and the benefits it offers companies in hiring capable interns. The value of the program is showcased through alumni success stories and the academy's holistic support system for students.
