Bio-Rad Welcomes Local High School for Tour of Corporate Headquarters

 

Bio-Rad recently hosted 28 sophomore students from Pinole Valley High School’s Biomedical Academy for an exciting tour of our corporate headquarters in Hercules, California. During the event, students were mentored by a diverse group of Bio-Rad employees who work in functions such as Manufacturing, Chemistry Development, HR, Legal, Compliance, and Quality Control.

Prior to the tour, the students performed an activity in their class using Bio-Rad protein gels from a kit donated by the Bio-Rad Explorer Program. The students then saw how the gels and electrophoresis apparatuses are made during a tour of two manufacturing plants in Hercules. To conclude, the students enjoyed lunch and a panel discussion with six employees who shared stories about their careers at Bio-Rad.

Brian Nguyen, a software quality assurance engineer in Bio-Rad's Life Science Group, is a Pinole Valley High School Graduate and says the tour offered young students a chance to learn about the many different career paths that are possible at Bio-Rad. “When I was their age as a student, I didn't know why I wanted to do,” Brian says. “I was still finding myself, and so now that I ended up here, even though I had a really wild path, I wanted to show that it's possible.”

Brian says he was grateful to help organize this year’s event, especially because he was once part of Pinole Valley’s Biomedical Academy himself. “Even though I ultimately wasn't interested in pursuing biology myself, I still wanted to be in biotech,” he says. “That's why, even though I'm a software engineer, I chose to work at Bio-Rad because I wanted to work in the healthcare field.” 


Eliza Zoffada, a corporate events & community involvement project manager, says the event helped illustrate the wide range of opportunities that Bio-Rad offers young job candidates. “It's so great that the students were able to see that you don't have to be a scientist to work at Bio-Rad,” she says. “Regardless of who you are or what you do, you can find a home here.”
