On September 2, Family and Workforce Centers of America's (FWCA)
Career Institute BioScience and Technology Training Program received a
$10,000 grant from Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. This training program helps
individuals who are interested in the life sciences professions, but lack formal
industry or academic training. This demographic includes unemployed,
underemployed, or displaced workers who are high school graduates or
individuals changing careers who need support to successfully acquire
positions within the field. This is an intensive, hands-on, and industry specific
training program within a simulated field-work environment. These funds will
go towards the implementation of programming and research technology for
our participants.
Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals is a multibillion dollar specialty
pharmaceutical company focused on its mission of Managing Complexity and
Improving Lives. Mallinckrodt provides medicines to address unmet patient
needs, stemming from more than 150 years, of remaining focused on
producing quality products with the utmost integrity and unparalleled service
