Life Sciences Workforce Development Initiative
Connecting residents to careers in the Life Sciences.
The Life Sciences Workforce Development Initiative (LSWDI) aims to train and employ 1,000 Boston residents in life sciences careers by 2025. The LSWDI will support the growth of Boston's life sciences workforce. We're expanding access to career opportunities for underserved and underrepresented communities. As part of this effort, we're working in partnership with YearUp and MassBio. The Life Sciences Career Alliance will connect residents to education, job training, and career readiness opportunities. Our goal is to place residents in family-supporting jobs in the Life Sciences industry. Learn more about this work below.
