Work Experience
As a life science company, Bayer is passionate about science and education. We believe that in order to solve the environmental and healthcare issues facing our world today, we must invest in the education of our science leaders of tomorrow.
To help open young minds to a career in science and the endless opportunities that could offer, Bayer is hosting “Insights into the Life Science Sector” work experience weeks. We hope these weeks will give our younger generations, (who face career path decisions) some hands-on experience of what is available to them in the world of work, and most importantly, where it could one day lead.
