Apprenti Answers: Life Sciences

The life sciences sector is growing rapidly — but the talent pipeline hasn't kept pace. Employers in biotech, pharma, medical devices, and healthcare are competing fiercely for skilled workers. Registered apprenticeship offers a structured, employer-driven solution to develop talent from within while expanding access to careers for a broader population. Today on the Apprenti Answers Podcast Special, we're joined by leaders in life sciences, Mike Hourigan, Founder & President of the International Academy of Automation Engineers and Founder & CEO of Horizon Controls Group and Sunny Schwartz, Chief Executive Officer of MassBioEd, to explore what apprenticeship looks like in a regulated, high-skill industry — and how program sponsors like Apprenti make it manageable for employers of any size.
