RI-INBRE Workforce Development and Training (RI-INBRE WDT) program is thrilled to announce that the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training (RI-DLT) has awarded funding for the 2024 – 2025 RI-WDT program.
The WDT program was created in 2023 to provide hands-on biomedical training for students by capitalizing on RI-INBRE’s well-equipped and well-maintained RI-INBRE Centralized Research Core Facility (CRCF).
The RI-INBRE WDT program’s mission is to provide trainees with valuable biomedical skills and to make these trainees preferred new hires for the Rhode Island biomedical and biotechnology industry once they graduate and pursue biotechnology jobs.
Expert faculty and staff design and conduct intensive 2.5-day training modules for small groups of trainees, allowing instructors to provide individual attention for each participant.
All modules are offered free of charge and provide instruction on the theory and practice of operating molecular and cellular analysis equipment, as well as training in scientific methods and data analysis. Participants who complete a training module earn a RI-INBRE-branded WDT certificate.
RI-INBRE WDT is offering the following training modules for the 2024 summer session:*
