Open doors for pharmacy students
An informative presence at Swiss universities and valuable personal contact with pharmacy students boost the profile of Galenica among future talents.
The shortage of specialists in the medical and pharmaceutical sector poses a challenge for the entire industry. As an attractive employer with a nationwide presence, we are in a strong position when it comes to finding pharmacists – but attracting new talents is still not easy. Galenica therefore launched a variety of measures to increase awareness and the appeal of pharmaceutical professions. One of the initiatives concerns our university marketing. In addition to attending events such as the Career & Networking Days at ETH Zurich, we also opened our doors at headquarters to future pharmacists. The 2023 Annual General Meeting provided a somewhat different glimpse behind the scenes at Galenica. We invited pharmacy students to the event and afterwards welcomed them to an informal discussion with our CEO and members of the Executive Committee.
Whether at Swiss universities and colleges or at our headquarters, personal contact with the students and giving them the opportunity to gain an insight into career opportunities at Galenica are extremely valuable. For both sides, because Galenica offers its pharmacists interesting career prospects. For example, we cover the costs of the part-time training programme to become a Specialist Retail Pharmacist (FPH) and support our employees throughout their careers.
