Program

The Boots in Bio program is designed to take an inexperienced member and teach them the necessary skill set, knowledge, and connections needed to start a career in the biotech/pharma industry. Each event is catered towards a specific benchmark in the life cycle of job hunting. Several volunteers and experienced industry leaders come together to support each transitioning service member and veteran throughout the program.

Boots in Bio will provide everything you need to complete our program in six (6) weeks.
