California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) is holding several FREE Information Sessions for anyone interested in the FREE (for San Diegans who qualify as "unemployed" or "underemployed") Biotechnology Laboratory Technician Certificate program. The Information Sessions will provide attendees with program information including curriculum, application procedures, program requirements, and prerequisites.

In partnership with the San Diego Workforce Partnership, and with $400,000 in funding from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) Extended Learning is offering free biotechnology laboratory technician training for qualified unemployed and underemployed adults.

Through its new Biotechnology Laboratory Technician Certificate program, CSUSM Extended Learning will provide no-cost education to 40 qualified individuals in two cohort sessions, and prepare them for current and emerging jobs in the biotechnology industry as lab technicians or research assistants.
With the first cohort set to launch in April and another cohort beginning in July, the program is currently accepting registrations. San Diegans who have a background in science and an interest in a biotechnology career are encouraged to attend an Information Session to learn more.

The event is FREE and open to the general public. To RSVP for the information sessions, please e-mail jlitsche@csusm.edu or call 760-750-4020.
