Company Site Visit Module

This module provides graduate students and postdoctoral scholars the opportunity to explore a company through a site visit both in person and virtually. This module provides trainees with the opportunity to hear from early career professionals who just made the transition from their degree program, leadership within the company, and see the job environment through a tour through the facilities.

A2i Alumni Testimonial

“I was able to attend the Grifols company site visit. During the site visit I was given the opportunity to hear from employees in a wide range of positions at varying stages of career level. I was able to ask questions about making the job transition, navigating career moves once in industry, and what it is like to work for a company like Grifols. We then were given a tour of the facilities which gave a me a great insight into the physical work environment.”
