First Contact Program
The First Contact Program assists students and young professionals in their networking by providing the first point of contact with experienced industry professionals in order to obtain their insight and knowledge into that facet of the diverse life sciences industry. By providing students and young professionals with introductions to experienced, knowledgeable professionals, they will gain necessary insight through exposure to one or more areas of the life sciences industry. Industry professionals will be provided with the opportunity to impart their advice and experiences to aid in the development of a student or young professional. First Contact participants are not expected to develop a mentor/mentee relationship, nor will the match be monitored as in a mentoring program. The program is intended only to provide an introduction between the participants. Click here to download the brochure and learn more.
