To meet employer needs, the QA/RA certificate will include access to career-enhancing experiential learning opportunities and mentorship. A partnership including the Colorado Bioscience Institute, and 16+ industry leaders will facilitate an innovative approach to providing participants with opportunities to increase economic mobility in high-demand, high-skill, high-wage occupations. The four courses that make up the certificate will be delivered online and asynchronously with a 3-day, in-person experience hosted by local Denver Metro area companies in the final capstone class. The curriculum is customized with input from our Advisory Board members to meet the QA/RA needs of the local bioscience community. The program provides specialized job training as well as mentorship and job matching activities offered by the Institute.
