these two partnerships is a collaboration among PA Bio, Life Science Career
Alliance and Chester County Economic Development Council and brings together
stakeholders from industry, education, workforce and economic development,
and others to further the partnership's mission to grow and develop the
region's life science workforce by creating a collaborative environment that
draws on the collective resources of industry, academia, government and
other supporting organizations.

This session will share critical success factors and lessons learned in
implementing and managing a successful internship or externship program in
your company.  Industry representatives will discuss their programs and
provide the "how to's" of partnering with local colleges and universities
for a successful program.  Local colleges and universities will be on hand
to share resources and provide information on their own programs.  They will

the current interns and externs available.
