colorfull section divider

From 2021-2024, LabCentral operated the Career Forge training program, which identified exceptional career-ready people ("Forgers") and empowered them with relevant technical skills and workplace competencies needed to forge their path into the biotech industry with meaningful career opportunities. 

With 100+ hours of training, Forgers were prepared for Research Assistant/Associate and Quality Control Analyst roles in the life sciences.

Career Forge Curriculum

The Career Forge curriculum was presented with the help of our expert training partners LEAS LAB and Jewish Vocational Services (JVS). In addition, Forgers received coaching from members of the LabCentral team and volunteer scientists and professionals in the LabCentral resident and partners network.

Learn about Biotech Ready! 

After several years running the Career Forge program, LabCentral took what we had learned and adapted the program into the new and improved Biotech Ready. Student participants receive micro-credentials demonstrating their readiness to enter the life sciences industry and safely work in a lab.
