TRI’s MTP Careers Symposium

Discover what you need to do to land a manufacturing career in the medtech & pharmaceutical sector. For undergrads & academics.

About this Event

If you are interested in a career in the medtech & pharmaceutical (MTP) industry in manufacturing, this is the must-attend event for you!

The MTP sector is growing in Australia, and companies have a high demand for demand for qualified scientists, pharmacists, engineers and biotech graduates and postgrads. BUT you need specific expertise.

The Translational Research Institute (TRI) is bringing together leaders in the industry along with the people who provide the bridging courses you need to secure a job as part of the MTPCareers Symposium in Manufacturing. We’re also celebrating the launch of our new, multimillion dollar Clinical Manufacturing and Training Hub.

Register today so that you don’t miss out.

Who should attend?

This event will suit anyone who is still studying their undergraduate degree through to early career researchers. It is designed to help you understand the sector and the careers which are available to you as well as the wide range of training options available in Australia to help you transition into this specialised field.
