The Galenika company has launched a new training program for young staff called "Healthy Start". This program is an example of the company's strategic determination to invest in knowledge and specialised practice for young staff in professional positions, through a detailed, modern mentoring program led by managers from the company. In addition, Galenika offers trainees expertly guided project assignments, active participation in business projects and career development with the possibility of permanent employment after completing the program.
Who is Galenika's program intended for and what opportunities does it offer?
The program is intended for high school seniors and students who have completed basic studies of medical, pharmaceutical and dental sciences at the Universities of Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš and Kragujevac, as well as high school graduates of technical high schools in Belgrade. First of all, the program is intended for young people who meet the requirements of the program and have the desire to improve their skills in the pharmaceutical industry, in one of the leading companies. Six selected students and 10 selected high school students will have the opportunity to attend Galenika's program.
"Galenika's "Healthy Start" is a continuation of previous investments in the community and education, and an additional illustration of the company's commitment to people. In this program, we focus on young people who have acquired professional knowledge and are on the threshold of their careers. The program is especially attractive to those interested in starting their career in a successful and modern pharmaceutical company with a regional presence, which understands the need for constant development in accordance with the progress of the pharmaceutical industry, technology and health needs. We will provide young people with the professional support and motivation they need to become top experts in our industry, as well as great colleagues," said Jelena Parojčić, executive director for human resources at the Galenika company.
The program offers candidates the opportunity to recognize their knowledge and potential, as well as to connect with colleagues. This is an opportunity to get acquainted with the framework of business in the pharmaceutical industry, technology, product range, market challenges and advantages of working in Galenica, as well as to use already acquired theoretical knowledge in practice. A particularly important element is the commitment of Galenika's experienced managers to the trainees through mentoring, and upon successful completion of the program, the company offers young people the opportunity to start a professional career in Galenika.
