This course is redesigned to equip students with not only the in-depth knowledge they need about the pharmaceutical and biotech industry but also to enable them to apply profiling in assessing their own potential to transition from academia to industry. The course focuses on strategic self-presentation, professional networking, and interview communication, emphasizing their role in securing and succeeding in industry positions.

Through experiential learning activities — including guided networking sessions, presentations, and mock interviews — students critically evaluate their communication strengths and develop targeted strategies for improvement with the intent to secure non-academic jobs in the pharmaceutical industry.
