“In our department, the inclusion of laboratory research technician apprentices has proven to be transformative and successful. Initially, these apprentices shadowed experienced technicians, learning the ropes and intricacies of laboratory work. Over time, these apprentices have displayed remarkable growth, transitioning from apprentices to independent contributors. They have not only undertaken their own projects but have also proven instrumental in enhancing departmental productivity and teamwork. The impact they’ve had on our department is nothing short of remarkable. Some of these apprentices have now gone on to become Senior Research Technicians with very niche and high-level skill sets.”
“Beyond the apprentices’ contributions, I think that the support from our CSR team has been instrumental in this success story. CSR has consistently provided quick responses to any queries and concerns, facilitating a seamless integration of the apprentices into our department. Their guidance and assistance have ensured a smooth transition for these young talents, allowing them to adapt quickly to the demands of our complex laboratory environment. This harmonious partnership between the department, the apprentices, and the CSR team has undeniably been a win-win situation, promoting professional growth, team collaboration, and overall success.”
