Our Mission

Bioversity blazes training pathways and creates employer connections for underrepresented populations and individuals traditionally left out of the life sciences to quickly propel them into well-paying jobs and lifelong careers. We aspire to an equitable life sciences industry that reflects the patient communities it serves and delivers career opportunities to all who want them.

About Us

Bioversity Inc (“Bioversity”) is a Massachusetts incorporated non-profit (Tax ID: 93-2178166), with tax exempt 501c3 status, launched by MassBio to create and implement industry-aligned workforce training initiatives. Bioversity operates training centers, runs programming, and creates partnerships to provide Massachusetts residents the skills and hands-on experience necessary to enter and thrive in life sciences careers. Together with MassBio, we serve as the nexus of learners, employers, educational institutions, and community organizations to make the whole of the life sciences workforce development landscape more efficient; allowing people to find jobs faster and employers to have easier access to a broader and more diverse talent pipeline.

Workforce Training Centers

Bioversity runs two separate workforce training centers – one in Boston and one in Lowell. Each of these facilities offer dedicated lab and classroom training space where Bioversity runs its training programming.

Bioversity Certificate Programs

Bioversity’s current workforce training initiative is an 8-week certificate training program open to those with a high school degree or a GED called Biotech Career Foundations.

The program provides graduates with a clear pathway toward a rewarding entry-level career at a local life sciences company. Built on extensive input from life sciences employers in Massachusetts, this training curriculum focuses on developing learner’s technical skills as well as soft skills necessary to succeed and advance in a career. Graduates of this course will be ready immediately for employment in areas such as lab operations, facilities management, supply chain and operations, environment, health, and safety (EHS) – jobs that have starting salaries in the mid five-figures plus excellent benefits.

Bioversity will assist graduates of the program with job placement starting on day 1 and will offer coaching throughout the first year of a graduate’s career to provide the best chance of success and promotion.

Applications for this training program are open on a running basis. Apply today!

Commitment to Continuing Education

As part of our mission, Bioversity is committed to helping our graduates pursue an academic journey beyond high school. While graduates of our program will be best positioned to go directly into the workforce, Bioversity will provide connections and support for students who wish to also pursue a 2- or 4- year degree including offering a one-time $2,000 tuition voucher to graduates who are accepted to Bioversity’s partner institutions. Life sciences employers also often offer educational benefits such as tuition reimbursement which can make a further educational journey more easily obtainable.
