Are your onboarding and retention strategies keeping pace with today’s competitive market?
“I completed all of the BioTalent Canada courses. They were really helpful in giving me foundational skills in the workplace, applicable beyond the science field. I think that the technical skills are great for those who need a refresher, but I also found myself learning new skills. The courses were put together really well, and I liked the pre and post-assessment they provided as well as the visuals!”
– Marcus Jung, BioTalent Canada course participant
