High School Students who are interested in learning advanced techniques in biotechnology and molecular biology may apply for this after-school program– see the Internship/Co-Op Program page for more details on ‘what to expect.’ Although high school students will be trained alongside college students, the curriculum is less involved and is primarily an instructional / shadowing experience. In some circumstances, depending on the advanced-level of the student, hands-on experience may be involved.

Science teachers, please contact us to schedule a tour of our lab with your students!

The Apprenticeship Program is a volunteer experience for students who are interested in STEM career fields.  Students will receive an acknowledgment Award (Certificate of Credit-Hours Accomplished) every semester and/or summer for cumulative hours completed in the program.

Preferential consideration for acceptance into the Apprenticeship Program will be given to AP students with at least one Letter of Recommendation. 

Orientation (on-boarding) starts on the second Saturday morning of January OR September (followed by a pizza lunch break). The program is a rolling application process. NOTE: we do not accept apprenticeship candidates to start during the summer months.
