Program Description
This fall we are pleased to be working with the Massachusetts Life Science Center to offer a BioTech Pathmaker program for students who will be 18+ in June 2025.
Selected high school students from metro-Boston build technical knowledge, lab techniques, research-based thinking and professional skills over ten weeks to prepare them for post-secondary academic pursuits and careers in life science companies.
We provide students with an academically enriching experience that leads them to make solid contributions at the lab bench and on a research team from the very first day of work.
From October through mid-December, students attend our online and in person Lab Training Program to work in lab research teams. During this period, students may also interview at local biotechnology companies and possibly advance to entry-level positions.
To be eligible for our program, you must be:
* at least 18 years old by June 1st, 2025
* a Massachusetts public high school student
* from historically underrepresented groups or economically disadvantaged
* committed to pursuing a career in the life sciences
Students who complete this program will earn a $1000 stipend and will be evaluated at no cost for BCSI essential lab-skills and micro-credentials.
