World of Work: Lab Tour with Invaio Sciences
About this Event
Get ready to ignite your passion for science at Invaio Sciences! Join the American City Coalition (TACC) for an exclusive tour of this cutting-edge lab space where innovation happens every day. Meet the brilliant minds behind the breakthroughs and explore the state-of-the-art facilities that are shaping the future of work. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of biotech and explore future career paths. See you there!
Designed especially for residents of Boston who are new to life sciences or interested in changing careers. This event is for people who are looking to create a career or make a career change into biotech and the life sciences.
TACC will provide round-trip transportation from the Shaw-Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library. Please email us if you need transportation by September 20. Invaio will give us a guided tour of their labs and offices in Cambridge. Afterwards, we will have lunch and a panel discussion about life sciences careers.
We will be touring lab spaces, so for safety, we recommend:
• Wear closed-toed shoes to minimize risk.
• Legs need to be covered. No shorts, capris, short skirts, short dresses, or ripped jeans.
• Shirts and tops must cover the shoulders and upper torso.
• No loose hair, loose accessories, or headphones.
Participants 16 -17 years old are welcome to attend, but will need a Minor Consent Form signed by a Parent or Guardian in advance. They will need a chaperone. Unfortunately, participants under the age of 16 are not permitted into the lab space.
TACC:
TACC is a Roxbury-based nonprofit tackling community-identified barriers through economic and workforce development, research, and policy strategies that expand pathways to meaningful opportunities in communities of color. At TACC, we believe that cities should work for everyone.
Roxbury Worx:
Our workforce development initiative, Roxbury Worx, focuses on connecting middle-skills and hidden workers from communities of color to career pathways in expanding sectors such as Life Sciences/Biotech, Healthcare, and Climate. Through our engagement efforts, we raise awareness of these industries and equip residents with the resources and support they need to pursue high-road jobs (e.g., higher wages, predictable annual income, opportunities for advancement, benefits).
This program is supported by a Life Sciences Career Awareness grant from the Mayor's Office of Workforce Development. The Life Sciences Workforce Development Initiative (LSWDI) aims to train and employ Boston residents in life sciences careers. The LSWDI supports the growth of Boston's life sciences workforce.
If you can no longer attend, please email us at [email protected]. We want to be able to offer spots to people on the waiting list.
