Participating companies in the Sudent Program to Ready Interns for Next-generation Talent (SPRINT) are actively recruiting candidates for Summer 2022 paid internships through LifeSciSprints.com.
This program aims to provide more than 100 paid opportunities in the life-science industry this summer to students attending Connecticut Colleges and Universities, as well as students with ties to Connecticut.
“We continue to have new internship opportunities become available each week, as we build momentum in the SPRINT program. This exciting program brings together leading bioscience companies in Connecticut to offer a one-of-a-kind internship experience.
Not only will the program include working for leading companies, but also the ability to gain exposure to other companies across the collaborative.
The internship program will provide educational workshops and networking throughout the summer across the bioscience community,” said Jennifer Good, President and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics based in New Haven, CT.
Terin Tyson, a former intern for Alexion AstraZeneca, a participating SPRINT company, offered her perspective on interning with a life-science company in Connecticut.
Terin shared, “Being an intern at Alexion AstraZeneca Rare Disease was a life changing experience. My perspective and interests as a young student were valued and used to build important initiatives within university
relations and early career talent recruitment.
“Now that I am working with Alexion in a full-time consulting capacity, I can honestly say that my learning experience and ability to be open minded
throughout my internship have made me an effective recruitment coordinator,” she said.
