番茄直播鈥檚 new workforce training partnership with Sancilio & Company (SCI), a Riviera Beach-based biotech company, has yielded new careers for three recent graduates. SCI鈥檚 Daneish Patterson 鈥17, human resources administrator; Alexander Haddad 鈥17, scientist; and Courtney Cocilova 鈥17, senior scientist; were among the first to enroll in FAU鈥檚 graduate-level course that is led by SCI scientists and focused on biopharmaceuticals and drug development.
FAU鈥檚 Center for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (CMBB) and SCI began a partnership in fall 2016 to address unique biopharmaceutical workforce needs. Conducted at FAU鈥檚 Jupiter campus, the course is popular among 番茄直播students studying diverse disciplines, from biological sciences to healthcare administration. Students who participate in the course have the opportunity to apply for internship positions at the company.
鈥淎s an intern, I engaged in real project scenarios and gained industry knowledge as well as professional experience,鈥 said Cocilova, who accepted her job at SCI after graduating from 番茄直播with her doctorate in May. 鈥淚 am very thankful for the opportunity that 番茄直播and SCI provided me, which led me to my career.鈥
