Cambridge Biomedical Career Program
The Economic Development Division provides support to Just-A-Start, a nonprofit community development corporation, for its Cambridge Biomedical Careers Program. This 9-month program is designed to enable local residents complete a Certificate in Biomedical Sciences to prepare them for entry level jobs at local biotechnology companies, universities, research institutions, clinical laboratories and hospitals.
Working in collaboration with a number of state and local agencies, Just-A-Start provides low-income Cambridge residents with an academic foundation in the biomedical science and a comprehensive laboratory skills course, as well as career counseling and job placement assistance. The program prepares students for a variety of jobs within the Cambridge biomedical community, including laboratory technician/assistant, quality control technician, biotechnology manufacturing assistant and animal care technician.
