ORBIS Bioscience Business Training Programme
The ORBIS (Overcome Recession: Bioscience Investment in Skills) bio-business training programme will help up to 250 graduate-level individuals in London and the South-East to gain new commercial skills.
Sixty six-month paid internships will allow new and recent graduates and unemployed sector specialists to work for bioscience companies. While with them, the interns will bring new technical skills and will take part in a comprehensive 12-day bio-business skills training programme.
Participating bioscience companies will also be able to enter their scientific employees into a programme of sector-relevant commercial skills training.
The project will be delivered by The London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC) and The Royal Veterinary College (RVC). Project funding comes from the Economic Challenge Investment Fund (ECIF) managed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The programme will run from April 2009 to September 2010.
