The Attach & Train Programme is a structured talent development programme designed to build skilled talent for Singapore’s advanced biomedical manufacturing sector through practical, industry-based training that develops the technical skills and capabilities needed to support the industry’s current and future workforce needs.
As a Pharmaceutical Technologist, your development will take place through a 15-month structured on-the-job training programme within our API Manufacturing team. You will work alongside experienced professionals to support the production of high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) under rigorous quality and compliance standards, helping to ensure a safe and reliable supply of medicines to patients.
Due to the nature of the programme and its eligibility requirements, applicants must be Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents.
