Accelerating Talent Development Tailored to the Bio Industry

On September 15, Celltrion announced that it is recruiting the first cohort for its bio-health academy, "Cell-On," to meet the growing demand for talent in the bioindustry and to create high-quality jobs.

This program has been established as part of the "Bio-Health Academy Program Operation Support Project," overseen by the Ministry of Health and Welfare and organized by the Korea Health Industry Development Institute. Celltrion was selected as the only company-led institution for this initiative, recognized for the excellence of its in-house talent development programs and its achievements in creating high-quality jobs.

The first cohort of Celltrion’s Cell-On Bio-Health Academy targets graduates of relevant high schools or holders of associate degrees in fields such as life sciences, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Candidates will be selected through a document screening and interview process. Applications are currently being accepted on the Celltrion recruitment website and job portals, with the deadline set for September 17.

The curriculum is divided into online courses, which provide knowledge covering the entire bioindustry value chain, and offline practical training focused on GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) qualification for cultivation and purification processes. Participants will receive training allowances and career consulting for employment in the bio sector. Outstanding trainees will be given preferential treatment when applying for positions at Celltrion.

Celltrion plans to operate a practical training program based on industry demand to achieve its goal of "establishing a virtuous cycle for nurturing bio talent and creating jobs," thereby strengthening job seekers' competencies and improving employment outcomes. The company also aims to ensure sustainability by establishing this virtuous cycle. To support this, Yonsei University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation will assist in running the program, including providing external lecturers.

A Celltrion representative stated, "As the bioindustry is emerging as a key driver of national economic growth, we are participating as the lead company in this program to help foster outstanding talent that meets industry needs," adding, "We will do our utmost to create a virtuous cycle that generates high-quality jobs and strengthens the national competitiveness of the bioindustry."
