Cambridge, MA – The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) and the BioBuilder Educational Foundation recently held their first-ever graduation ceremony for Life Sciences High School Apprentices at LabCentral in Cambridge .

Twenty-seven students from Boston and Cambridge have successfully completed an eight-week lab-readiness training program as part of the newly established Life Sciences High School Apprenticeship Challenge training program, the pilot year, which was funded by a $50,000 grant from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center

The training, led by BioBuilder and hosted by MIT, has taught laboratory and professional skills to students from diverse backgrounds that will prepare them for internship opportunities and eventual careers with local life sciences companies and research institutions.
