San Diego | Life Science Workforce Symposium

October 16 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

Biocom California Institute invites you to join the seventh annual Life Science Workforce Symposium, “Bridging Curiosity with Opportunity.” This free event will be simulcast in San Diego, the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

For Industry: Life science companies that attend will have the opportunity to share their story, meet directly with emerging talent who are from diverse backgrounds and lean into mentorship programs. Raise your company’s profile and showcase your commitment to DEI while engaging with a new talent pool. More than half of job seekers (53%) say DEI is a key factor when deciding where to work, and diverse companies see higher profits and are more likely to capture new markets.*

*Eagle Hill Consulting 2023 survey; Harvard Business Review 2018; McKinsey & Company 2020 report.

For The Community: Our symposium taps into a broad base of leaders from academia, government, and regional workforce and economic development agencies that have a shared interest in advancing the industry’s economic impact and learning more about the available career opportunities in the field.

For Job Seekers: Our symposium raises awareness about careers in life science that are beyond the lab and don’t require advanced degrees. This event is always free to attend and plays a pivotal role in our mission to diversify the industry’s talent pipeline. If you are a job seeker, please register here.
