Life Science Lab Apprenticeship Program
Harvard University
The Life Science Lab Apprenticeship Program gives local students—who have not been introduced to laboratory work as a potential career—an understanding of opportunities associated with biotechnology and research science. Students learn laboratory and workplace skills, and are then placed in paid, six-week summer apprenticeships to expose them to the lab workplace and responsibilities of a technician. In 2020, this program was rolled into the Ed Portal Internship Program to respond to COVID-19 restriction on in-person activities on campus.
