Ella, a unique and independent thinker, chose to bypass college and pursue a career in biotech straight out of high school. Unwilling to incur college debt, she found a program in Massachusetts that offers hands-on training, filling the demand for skilled workers in the growing life sciences industry. Her parents, who also struggled with college costs, supported her decision. This trend reflects a broader shift in the industry, valuing skills over degrees.

Ella and others like Brady, another student from a similar background, benefited from practical training at the Gloucester Biotechnology Academy. Both found internships and gained confidence in their capabilities.

This approach highlights the importance of accessible, skills-based education, addressing a critical talent shortage in the biotech sector and offering viable career paths without the need for traditional four-year degrees.
