Graduating Seniors and Recent High School Grads – What’s your plan for the future?

Do you like to work with your hands to create things? Would you like to work in a modern high tech environment? Then a career as a biotech technician may be just what you’ve been looking for.

Gloucester Biotechnology Academy (GBA) is offering high school graduates a 1-year course that will prepare you for an entry-level job as a lab technician — and a professional career with tremendous upside.

There will be no tuition or other charges for our inaugural class.  All students in the class of 2017 will get a full ride.  We thank generous donors for underwriting this class.

You’ll learn all the basic skills needed to work “at the bench”, using equipment and methods that exist today in modern biotech labs. Such as computer skills, basic science vocabulary, how to run and maintain amazing equipment, and methods for simple data processing.

You’ll also have a paid internship, after successfully completing two 11 week semesters.

This is a chance to break into the Biotechnology industry, a field with a strong future. And once employed, most companies offer training programs and opportunities to advance.  This could be your start.
